Gryffon Ridge Spice Merchants

Founded by Christine Pistole in 2009 at the Brunswick Farmers’ Market, Gryffon Ridge Spice Merchants provides over 200 spices, herbs, blends, and other flavorings from right here in Litchfield, Maine! Gryffon Ridge is a true lemons to lemonade story: Christine had been laid off from her corporate job working for hotel chains when she stopped into a store to buy cloves. When she realized how expensive they were compared to the amount of product in hand, she thought “there’s gotta be a better way!” And the idea for Gryffon Ridge was born! Leveraging her business background and a natural knack for blending up unique spice combos, Christine has grown the business into an impressive operation that’s sure to make something that everyone will enjoy. Not to mention their official MOFGA certification, Christine’s dedication to getting the best deal and quality for her customers, and an exciting celebrity chef endorsement from Andrew Zimmern, Gryffon Ridge is here to stay and we’re all the more delicious because of it!
