Winterport, Maine  has a robust farming community which consists of six dairy, two beef cattle, two orchards and one tree farm.[1]

Located just 12 miles south of Bangor on Route 1A, Winterport faces the deep and fast-flowing Penobscot River. Older homes, many built for Winterport sea captains, stand along the downtown roadways. Sidewalks encourage people to stroll through the town. [1]

From the historic downtown, where people can find a variety of restaurants and small businesses, visitors can walk the short distance to the Winterport waterfront and watch boats make their way to and from the Penobscot Bay and open waters just beyond.[1]

In 2003 Winterport completed, with Federal, State and private funds, a $6.5 million reconstruction of Main Street. The work included: the reconstruction of route 1A/Main Street through Winterport Village, the renovation of water, sewer, and storm drainage pipes, rebuilding of curbs and sidewalks and landscaping, in keeping with its historic heritage.[1]

Winterport is fortunate to have abundant natural resources including the Penobscot River, Marsh Stream, numerous brooks, acres of gravel deposits, rolling hills and hardwood forests. Such abundance allows our hard working businesses to prosper. The deep water Winterport Terminals has in the past, been the site for international shipping and frozen foods storage. The Winterport Marine and Boatyard provides dockage, repairs and services to pleasure boaters. Midcoast Marine offers tug services, while also providing repair’s and services to pleasure boaters.[1]
