The Greeks of Peaks

The story of The Greeks of Peaks begins over a century ago: Nancy’s Great γιαγιά (grandmother) and Great παππούς (grandfather) moved from Greece to Pennsylvania in the late 1800s. They learned of a place supposedly as beautiful as the Greek Isles and after their first visit to Peaks Island, they bought a cozy cottage. Each summer for the rest of their lives, they brought their brothers and sisters, children, grandchildren, and eventually great-grandchildren to the island. It is not uncommon in the summer to find a large group of the extended family roasting a whole lamb over a fire on “Greek Beach.”

Many family recipes were passed down over the decades. In 2016 Nancy began adapting these recipes to be served from a food truck. Alongside her partner Haley, the Greeks of Peaks now serves their healthy & hearty Greek food to hungry Portlanders and Islanders alike from their two food trucks and catering business.  They are so happy to be able to donate to Full Plates Full Potential and help ensure that no Maine kids experience hunger.
