produce of nature locally to their full advantage The Maine river has salmon and trout in abundance Wild berries and herbs are also in abundance in the woods and thickets locally Seaweeds lichens and mosses abound along the seashore of Callinafercy and Inch For special occasions such as festivals weddings or to mark victories woodcocks pigeon duck and deer would have been on the menu All these
