Market Reports
Since 2020, MOFGA and Maine Farmland Trust have collaboratively produced seasonal market reports to provide a platform for sharing data and information relevant to what’s happening at markets, specifically to support communication between Maine farmers and buyers. The Maine Produce Market Reports are posted on a Google Group platform, which allows readers to interact and connect in real time, communicate about supply and demand needs, and share relevant thoughts and perspectives. Issued every two weeks from May to October, the Maine Produce Market Reports focus on fresh vegetables, fruit and herbs, reporting trends in supply, demand and pricing across a broad spectrum of Maine growers, buyers and markets.

Past issues of the market reports are available. Please contact our organic marketing and business specialist to access or receive any or all of these (PDF or hard copy versions are available as well as online access).

Organic Impact Reports
In April of 2024, MOFGA published an organic impact white paper, titled “Maine Organic Agriculture from 2007-2021: Size, Economic Impact, Farmer Goals, and Profitability.” You can read the full report here.
MOFGA’s 2025 report, “Maine Organic Agriculture from 2007-2022: Size, Economic Impact, Farmer Goals, and Financial Sustainability,” details the nuance in how markets and farming trends have shifted over the 15-year study period. Using a combination of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data and farmer surveys, the report findings show that while the number of certified organic farms decreased, the average sales per certified farm went up, suggesting that certified farms are making more income per farm. Read the full report, or our summary, below.
We are looking for feedback as well as measuring the impact of knowledge gained on specific topics from this report. Please take a moment to complete a brief evaluation form. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Watch our webinar to learn from the authors of the report. Report authors Jed Beach of FarmSmart Business Services and Rose Wilson of Rose Wilson Consulting sat down with MOFGA’s Executive Director, Sarah Alexander, to share how the report was developed, what the data show, and what the findings means for the future of farming in Maine.
