“What About You?” is proud to highlight a central Maine business that is truly helping to move Maine forward.
China Lake Provisions is a 2025 version of an old fashioned local general store. Owners Michael Brown and James Malinky have recreated a welcoming place where locals and visitors meet. They have combined their talents to offer fresh Maine grown meats and produce along with other Maine made products, including jewelry and gift ware. Maine artisans and artists have created a place where you can always find something new to try.
Mike is also the owner and steward of Meadowbrook Farm down the road in China. They raise their own herd of Angus beef cattle. Mike wants to teach his daughter that with hard work, small scale family farms can prosper and create “the way life should be” for future generations. They provide opportunities to keep us healthy with locally grown meats and veggies.
Dutton Family Farm in Vassalboro brings China Lake Provisions their artisan breads by the loaf, or try one of Nellie’s Deli sandwiches on Dutton Family Farm bread. They have taken time to create some unique flavors of sandwiches, such as Pickle ‘n Beef or The Homesteader, served with their own freshly made in-store vinaigrette. Nellie’s Italian sub and shaved steak sub served on Damon’s sub rolls are favorites too. You can build your own sandwich with a variety of meats, cheeses, and veggies.
Nellie’s Deli offers fresh dough and gluten free choices of artisan pizzas. Choose your toppings or try their artisan crafted meat lovers and veggie offerings. Their breakfast pizza is a local favorite! Nellie’s Deli offers an ever-changing variety of meals to go too.
Mike told us that China lake Provisions has been warmly received. They enjoy hearing the feedback when customers try their pizza, sandwiches or find a delicious Maine made treat!
China Lake Provisions is proud of the variety of Maine made products they offer. Carissa Stein helps manage the store. She is sourcing many quality Maine made products. Carissa loves a challenge, so if you have a favorite Maine food, drink or product and can’t find it, she will do her best to locate it!
They also carry Maine made wines and spirits. Try their DragonFly Wines from Stetson, or a large variety of Maine brewed beers, such as Bigelow Brewing and so many more.
They carry freshly made goat cheese, soaps and other farm products sourced directly to our consumers. Other items include Carrabassett Coffee, Maine maple syrup from China’s own Raider’s Sugarhouse.
Popcorn, chips, nuts, oils, jams and vinaigrettes are only a few specialties that await your taste buds. Mike is currently perfecting cold brewed iced coffee perfect for the warmer weather ahead.
China Lake Provisions is looking forward to participating in community events, thus bringing full circle the old time General Store atmosphere and the 2025 farm-to-table movement. They are keeping locals healthy in a friendly down home way.
