About Maine Crisp Company
Maine Crisp Company operates from Winslow, Maine, where founder Karen launched the business after a career that spanned bread baking, dairy farming, and cheesemaking. Unable to find gluten-free crackers that met her standards for ingredients, taste, and texture, she began developing her own buckwheat-based recipes. The company is now transitioning to the Better with Buckwheat brand. The facility produces a line of gluten-free, grain-free crackers made from buckwheat, a seed cultivated for over 8,000 years. Current flavors include Cranberry Almond, Everything, Savory Fig & Thyme, and Sea Salt. Production is described as handmade, though the company does not disclose facility size, headcount, or annual volume. Customers range from individual consumers to food-service accounts. Chefs at Union Restaurant in Portland and Alice and Lulu's in Sugarloaf Village have endorsed the crackers, as has C Salt Gourmet Market in Cape Elizabeth. The product is also sold direct through the company's website. The company emphasizes buckwheat's environmental profile: it grows in low-fertility soils, regenerates the land, and supports pollinators—one acre can sustain a full hive. Nutritionally, the crackers are positioned as low-glycemic, anti-inflammatory, and high in fiber. Karen's original motivation was personal: creating a snack she could enjoy daily without compromising on flavor or ingredient integrity.
