SUSTAINABLE AG RESEARCHERS & SERVICE PROVIDERS

Novel infrastructure, marketing & workforce development

Maine farmers – whether recent immigrants, multigenerational settlers, or indigenous – often often need support from larger resource networks to improve their efficacy for the communities  they serve. We work with MOFGA, Maine Farm Bureau, Maine DACF, and across higher ed with collaborating federal and state organizations.
