Overview
Premier crafters of Maine’s iconic potato candy since 2019
Needhams are a uniquely Maine candy first created in the early 1870’s. Traditionally, they have a coconut and potato filling and are covered in dark chocolate. We cherish this 150-year-old tradition and are proud to make it our mission to preserve, revitalize and expand it for future generations.
We’re Gerard and Malaika. In the spring of 2019, we purchased the Maine Needham company and moved its operations to our hometown of Saco, Maine, where we’ve lived and raised our family for over three decades.
We’ve worked hard to build a business that is known for high quality products, superior service and uncompromising integrity. We value our customers and work hard to make sure each one feels like they are our only customer.
