“Many of my customers, after eating my food, tell me I’m the most eclectic person, and I take that as the biggest compliment,” said McDonald.
McDonald is the owner and operator of Fox Den Delicacies, a baking business she opened in the fall of 2017. While her passion lies in the rich chocolate brownies and her own creations of English muffin bread and tart-POPS, it has taken a journey across the eastern seaboard to attain a lifelong dream.
McDonald came to Maine for the first time in 1989. As soon as she crossed the bridge onto Deer Isle, she said her soul felt at home.
“I just knew,” she said. “My entire being felt alive.”
It would take over 20 years to make her dream of living on Deer Isle a reality, but in 2012, with her daughter Kira in tow to begin college at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, she took a job as a nurse at the Island Nursing Home and began her life on the island.
