They are a seasonal business, but worth the visit if you are in Eastport in the warmer weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s better than driving over to the most eastern city in all of America? Driving to a candy shop located in the most eastern city in all of America. Sweeties Downeast is a \u201cconfectionary wonderland\u201d operated by the venerable Lisa Stephen as well as her two dogs: Fargo, an Australian terrier, and recently Malachai, an 8-year-old Shih Tzu. The candy shop is located on 80 Water Street in Eastport and offers more than 400 varieties of sweets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amongst these sweets, there are 250 different confections like licorice, saltwater taffy, old-time favorites, Jelly Belly\u2019s, chocolate, sours, and so much more. According to Lisa, gummies are the customers\u2019 favorite candies, and there\u2019s even a 3ft. long gummy snake that weighs about \u2153 of a pound. Lisa says, \u201cIt\u2019s stomach-turning, but I swear the more disgusting the shape the more they like it. I\u2019ve got gummy bloody eyeballs, brains, teeth, bullfrogs on one end and cupcakes, hearts, flowers, and ice cream cones on the flip side\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweeties Downeast\u2019s store specialty is the Beckett\u2019s Honey Sticks. \u201cIt\u2019s the signature chocolate bar from Beckett\u2019s, Eastport and Calais\u2019 original confectioners started by 2 Scottish brothers in the mid 1800s. There was a store and factory on the main street in each town. Honey Sticks are semi hard fondant bars dipped in dark chocolate. It takes a couple of days to make each batch. Beckett\u2019s was a family business for many generations. When it closed the recipes were carried on by another local chocolatier which eventually closed in the early 2000s\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-280x300.jpg\" alt=\"Image of Beckett's Honey Sticks\" class=\"wp-image-24048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-280x300.jpg 280w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-955x1024.jpg 955w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-768x823.jpg 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-1433x1536.jpg 1433w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-105x113.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-317x340.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-423x453.jpg 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-634x680.jpg 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-846x907.jpg 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-951x1019.jpg 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n-1268x1359.jpg 1268w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/78421481_2561735417275292_8161973626740932608_n.jpg 1876w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When Lisa first opened Sweeties Downeast, she would always have locals come into her store and ask if she sold Beckett\u2019s Honey Sticks. Seeing the community\u2019s love for this sweet, Lisa had a friend&nbsp;introduce her to Martha Beckett who is the great great granddaughter of the Beckett family. Lisa was able to meet with the Beckett family and they were kind enough to share the recipe with Lisa. Even though it takes a couple of days to make each batch, the payoff is well worth it since people from all across the country buy Beckett\u2019s Honey Sticks, especially around Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beckett\u2019s Honey Sticks may be a local favorite, but Lisa\u2019s preference is to make and consume fudge! Lisa says, \u201cMy personal weakness is fudge. I make it and tend to concentrate on tried and true flavors like chocolate, peanut butter, peanut butter\/chocolate, caramel sea salt, maple and Maine blueberry. I love to make it \u2026 basically because I sample as I go!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"Interior of Sweeties Downeast\" class=\"wp-image-24056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-1024x728.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-768x546.jpg 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-1536x1092.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-105x75.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-317x225.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-423x301.jpg 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-634x451.jpg 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-846x602.jpg 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-951x676.jpg 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420-1268x902.jpg 1268w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/undiscoveredmaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/527\/2021\/05\/IMG_1420.jpg 1831w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lisa\u2019s success is attributed to her \u201clabor of love\u201d; she put in hours upon hours of work into her business starting off. Lisa personally took on many responsibilities such as staffing the store alone, designing and decorating the space, and other operations. Lisa says, \u201cIf you were to look on it as a salaried position, it doesn\u2019t make sense\u201d, but the \u201cbenefits are huge\u201d. Lisa\u2019s strategy was to do everything she possibly could by herself and it has been one of the contributing factors to her success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her work ethic and dedication to Sweeties Downeast helped her business survive when the pandemic&nbsp;hit in March 2020. In order to stay safe during the pandemic, Sweeties Downeast gave each of its customers disposable gloves to wear, which&nbsp;allowed them to continue to give out free samples in-store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Eastport is an older community, so Sweeties is a big draw for grandkids. Many folks tell me it\u2019s the first place families want to visit when they get to town. I have one little guy who comes every summer. As soon as he gets here, he runs into the store, opens his arms and yells \u2018I\u2019m back!\u2019.
