Albert and Pauline O'Neill of O'Neill Farm in Belfast.

Know Your Organic Producers!

Meet MOFGA certified organic farmers Albert and Pauline O'Neill of O'Neill Farm in Belfast, who first certified their blueberry field in 2012. They sell all their berries to another certified farmer. Albert is a World War II veteran as well as a huge Yankees fan. (Don't hold that against him!) Pauline used to own the restaurant and hotel by Lake St. George. They love Maine's snowy winters.

MOFGA Certification Services certifies 35 lowbush blueberry farms.

Please support MOFGA certified organic farmers and producers!
