MESAS is a farmer-led nonprofit that focuses on helping farms in Maine achieve a triple bottom line regardless of the scale they operate at or the production methods they chose to use. That triple bottom line includes PROFITABLE FARMS, HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, and STRONG COMMUNITIES.

As a farmer led, 501(c)3 organization,  MESAS coordinates research into emerging trends and technologies for best sustainable practices, serves as an information “Hub” to help farmers have access to the information they need to make the best decisions possible for their operations, and conducts pilot projects/demonstrations that provide practical experience in a peer to peer learning environment.

MESAS is membership based and served by a board of volunteer directors, the majority of whom are Maine food and fiber producers.
