(Natalie King) recalled that Stonewall started at a farmers market, and her brother, who co-founded the company, needed to provide a company name for the provisions he was selling. He looked at a nearby stone wall, and the name stuck.

King said part of Stonewall’s success in growing outside the state was to keep the product quality high, using the best ingredients possible. It is the largest purchaser of wild Maine blueberries from Wyman’s of Maine in Millbridge.
