Where can I buy vermiculite in Southern Maine?

I am planning my garden for this spring and I was wondering if anyone out there in the southern Maine area could help me track down a place where I can get the 4 cubit foot bags of vermiculite, and how much they cost? Also I need some good compost as well....any ideas?

Answer:

My research says vermiculite is not toxic. Nonetheless, call your doctor.
Vermiculite may contain asbestos, so yes it is bad for an infant to eat it!
I would call poison control or the hospital. Breathing it in is a problem, but I think it just goes through the digestive tract if eaten.
Yes, it can be dangerous if it is eaten by infants.
