Rockland Food Service (195 Park St., Rockland, ME 04841-2127, (207) 594-5443) is where I get much of my packaging supplies. They are happy to order anything I need, and they stock the standard items such as paper and plastic bags, deli paper and deli containers, herbs, etc. Their prices may be a little higher, but they completely make up for it in customer service, meeting me at the door with my order, and loading my van for me. I do have to say that I try to support local suppliers as much as possible, rather than always run to the internet and order things.” - suggested by Caitlin Hunter, Appleton Creamery
