Treasures from the Earth

Amy gets to build a table by hand, using sustainably sourced wood from a nearby forest, at Shackleton Thomas Furniture and Pottery. In Maine, Richard Wiese takes us on an adventure to unearth the state gemstone--tourmaline. In Cape Neddick, ME, chef Justin Walker and his restaurateur wife, Danielle Johnson Walker, put a modern spin on a traditional Maine bean hole supper at their farmhouse.
