Maine distiller aiding tri-state food banks

Potato plants at Green Thumb Farms.

If you like Cold River vodka and/or gin, you'll love what its maker is doing.

Maine Distilleries, which gets its potatoes from Green Thumb Farms in Fryeburg, ME, operated by one of the distillery partners, plans to donate one pound of potatoes to food banks in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts for every bottle of its vodka and gin sold in those states during the first three months of 2012.

The Freeport company says the potatoes will be donated during next fall's potato harvest to the Good Shepherd Food Bank in Auburn, ME, the New Hampshire Food Bank in Manchester, NH, and the Greater Boston Food Bank.
