Join us on Wednesday, August 7 at 10:30 a.m. for a Field Day at Aurora Mills and Farm in Linneus, Maine. This free event, designed for farmers, is part of the Maine Grain Alliance’s Transition to Organic Partnership Program grant. The day will feature a tour of the farm, mill, equipment, and buildings. Sara Flewelling will share how their pioneering family-owned business has championed certified-organic grains, legumes, and cover crop seeds for more than two decades. Aurora Mills and Farm utilizes organic and regenerative farming practices to cultivate a variety of crops in a biodiverse rotation. After harvest, Aurora Mills and Farm mills their grains on a stone mill right on the farm.
Our farm tour will cover:
- Fields and Crops: Explore diverse crop rotations and learn about our organic and regenerative farming practices.
- Stone Mill: Learn about the stone milling process.
- Infrastructure: Learn more about the equipment and machinery that support their operations.
- Family Collaboration: Hear directly from the Wiliams/Flewelling families about their journey and innovations in the Maine grain industry.
Aurora Mills and Farm has created relationships and collaborated with like-minded farmers and businesses throughout the Northeast. Don’t miss this opportunity to see and learn from a champion of organic farming in Aroostook County.
