The 5 Fletcher Brothers: L to R: Danny, Doug, Gary, Jody & Bryan.
Doug Fletcher
About FLETCHERS' MILL In 1971, brothers Wayne and Earl Fletcher had a vision of owning a business; so on a wing and a prayer they mortgaged their homes and took ownership of an antiquated wood mill that once served as a blacksmith shop for the New Vineyard, Maine locals. Many of the simpler items which the Fletcher brothers began manufacturing included wooden nickels, tool handles and toy parts, which are still being manufactured at the modernized Maine Wood Concepts mill today.
Since 1994 the business has been Old Fletchers' Mill - watercolor by Joe Parks - 1984 owned and operated by Wayne’s sons Doug, Gary and Jody. All 3 brothers worked at the company for years before taking ownership, slowly graduating from sawmill workers, to machine operators, to mechanics, to supervisors and finally owners. Consequently the second generation of Fletchers know their business from top to bottom and they are quick to credit their dad and uncle for the wisdom they had in requiring them to learn the business in such an intimate way. Currently around 100 people are employed at the factory located in the western mountains of Maine. Today the Fletcher family business has its own modernized sawmill where the logs are purchased from local loggers and processed into boards, squares and dowels. The wood is then dried in one of 6 kilns. Once prepared the wood is then introduced into the manufacturing facility where it is turned or molded into one of thousands of various items the mill produces. As Doug Fletcher likes to say "From raw logs to the finished product the entire process is done in house and under a watchful eye. That is why the Fletchers are proud to say Made in Maine, Guaranteed for Life."

Why Fletchers' MILL?
• Our solid wood Pepper Mills, Salt Mills, rolling pins, muddlers and gourmet tools are handcrafted in Maine from the finest New England Hardwoods. • All Fletchers' Mill products come with a lifetime guarantee. (Lifetime guarantee applies to the mechanism only and excludes normal wear and misuse). • Whenever possible, we purchase our wood from FSC certified suppliers and encourage our entire base of suppliers to participate in this valuable program. • Much of the sawdust and scrap wood we generate is used to provide heat for our factories and dry kilns. The rest is sold to local businesses who manufacture wood pellets used to heat many New England homes. • We are very proud of our products and we make each one as if it is going into our own homes.
Grind Selection All Fletchers' Mill Pepper and Salt Mills feature our "Lock & Grind" system for a wide range of grinds and consistent results.
Outstanding Mechanisms
Turn top nut counter-clockwise for coarse grinds, clockwise for fine grinds.
Fletchers' Mill Pepper Mills are fitted with a stainless steel two-step mechanism which first crushes the peppercorns for enhanced flavor, then grinds the peppercorns to the chosen consistency. Our Salt Mills feature an adjustable salt crushing system. You can only use pepper in the Pepper Mill and salt in the Salt Mill, as our mill mechanisms are specifically designed for one or the other. Both mechanisms pop-out for easy cleaning.
CleanING & Filling Your Mill • Unscrew top nut and remove top. • Fill with pepper or salt. • Replace top then turn it slightly until it clicks into place. • Screw on top nut while pushing up on the bottom mechanism. • Tighten to desired grind.

How to Steam a Maine Lobster Put 2 inches of seawater or salted water in the bottom of a large pot. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Set a steaming rack inside the pot and add lobsters one at a time. Cover the pot. Cook 8-10 minutes per pound. Halfway through cooking, shift lobsters around so they cook evenly. When done, lobsters will turn bright red, and meat will have changed from translucent to white. Source: lobsterfrommaine.com
