In 2020, MOFGA and Maine Farmland Trust began to produce these market reports, for the purpose of supporting farmer and buyer communication and creating clarity in a rapidly changing market due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These reports are solely for informational and observational purposes, and are likely most helpful for small, diversified farms selling to the local wholesale marketplace (such as stores and restaurants), and/or direct to consumers through CSA’s, farmers’ markets or farm stands.
