Our programs are built on the principle that hands-on and peer-to-peer learning are the most effective ways to develop expertise, share innovation, and grow the supportive communities of practice that farmers, gardeners, and eaters need to succeed in building a sustainable food and farm system in Maine. Join us for our various workshops, meetings, farm tours, and conferences throughout the year!
