Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News

Saco farm provides a trip back in time
Portland Press Herald - 1/3/2012.

By Dennis Hoey – Roland Fogg has always liked to gaze over the fields of his family's Fogg Farm in Saco and reflect on how little has changed over the last 200 years. David Johnson knows those moments, noting that his cousin has often ended up saying, "I thank you, Rufus."

We’ve lost nearly all our wild foods. What happened? And what are we missing?
Alternet - 1/2/2012.

By Jill Richardson – Once upon a time, wild foods were a regular and beloved part of the American diet. Today, the American epicure might dine on foraged mushrooms and ramps, but for many of us, fish are the last wild food we eat.

Kennebec Journal - 1/2/2012.By Beth Quimby – Clayton Haskell needed land to expand his beef operation at Pleasant River Farm in Windham to supply meat to Saint Joseph's College in Standish. So when 217 acres of the Clark family farm a mile away became available at the bargain basement price of $200,000 through the Maine Farmland Trust last year, he snapped it up.
