Quietside Muffin Company Celebrates One Year Anniversary



It all started with a cooler and a dream. One day while baking in my kitchen in Maine that the idea came to me. I saw people all over with roadside tables offering homemade goods with payment on the honor system. Why couldn'st I do it too Thus, the Quietside Muffin Company was born on July 2, 2005, as a sole proprietorship and is licensed with the State of Maine as a Home Food Processor.

I decided I would make blueberry muffins and sell them out of a cooler at the end of my driveway. On the first day I sold 30 Muffins. On day two, I sold another 30 Muffins. I knew I was on to something, because on day three, I could not keep the cooler full and sold 90 muffins. People were coming up to the door asking me when the muffins would be ready. On one of my busiest days last year I sold 100 muffins!

Since then, the Quietside Muffin Company has expanded our offerings to home made Texas size muffins, dog treats, cookies, pies, cakes and chocolate candy. Muffins come in Blueberry, Strawberry, and Raspberry and we have a seasonal special muffin. Quiet Side Puppy Muffins (dog treats) come in assorted sizes to compliment any size dog. Gift baskets for all our products are available upon request.

What makes our QS muffins special is that they are hot, fresh out of the oven treats. They do not contain any preservatives and are only made with the best ingredients and lots of love. Our products provide great home made comfort food, just like Grandma used to make, for the whole family at a reasonable price. All it takes is one bite of a Quietside Muffin and the other products sell themselves!

QuietsidePuppy Muffins have become a staple in many homes on Mount Desert Island because everyone wants only the best for their best friend.

As my daughter Theresa knows, you can'st take your K9 pal out to buy goodies without them feeling slighted. Our dalmatian Sparky is Queen of the Drive-Up. This gave me the idea to make Quietside Puppy muffins. The idea took off and we now sell and ship Quietside Puppy Muffins across the country.

We offer free delivery in Southwest Harbor, Maine and anywhere on the island with a minimum order of $12.00.

After a successful winter, the Quietside Muffin Company is now selling some of its products in local stores on the island at our loyal customers's requests.

You can buy our products at Carroll Drug, Cozy Cat Farms Gifts and starting in July at Flying Artisans.
You can still purchase muffins at the old faithful cooler at the end of the driveway for those customers who just want a hot fresh baked muffin.

Please listen for our radio advertisements on WDEA in Ellsworth. We also advertise our specials in the Mount Desert Islander newspaper and the Ellsworth American.

Our hours of operation are 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM, seven days a week May through October. During the winter we take orders over the telephone for pick up or delivery.

The purpose of the Quietside Muffin Company is to serve the Mount Desert Island area of Maine with quality products at a reasonable price. Should a customer call with a special order, we will do whatever it takes to meet that need with the best tasting baked goods that they have ever had!

We believe in taking care of our own.

We purchase as many of our needs from local businesses as possible.

Having dealt with the public during my previous career and growing up in a family of great cooks, I feel that every product that comes from the kitchen of the Quietside Muffin Company is made with care and love.

We have many steady local customers who know that at Quietside Muffin Company you are more than a customer you are a welcome friend.
