NORRIGEWOCK, MAINE -- 04/18/2017 -- Albie Barden of Norrigewock is among the few people who call themselves cornkeepers. He has been preserving and trying to bring back native strains of flint corn that were grown in many Maine and New England regions by Native Americans. Barden holds some Gigi Hill variety that is among the roughly 12 strains of flint corn he has grown over the years.
