Our Co-op

Named for the tart, wild berry indigenous to this one mile-square island, Little Cranberry is an island, off an island, off the coast of Downeast Maine where the air is fresh, the waters clean and cold and the only way to get here is by boat. Fishing is the way of life and has been for close to four hundred years.

We believe there is a right way and a wrong way to fish. Instead of overfishing, the Little Cranberry Coop is a steward of the sea. In 1978 a band of farsighted lobstermen joined together to form one of the first fishing cooperatives in Maine. Working with other likeminded lobstermen we established trap limits, size limits and protected egg-bearing females from harvest.

Today, every lobster we catch is certified, sustainable and traceable. We are proud custodians of this great tradition where only the freshest catch caught right is called Little Cranberry Lobster.
