Here’s a memory from Brittany Hopkins of Wise Acres Farm in Kenduskeag, Maine. “In addition to being a MOFGA apprentice and a MOFGA Journeyperson, I also consider myself to be a little bit of a ‘MOFGA kid.’ I grew up going to the Common Ground Country Fair. My school, New Country School, had a food vendor booth there for a while in the early ‘90s. If anybody ever had ‘apple-strawberry shortcake delight’ that was us. It was a wonderful experience going to the Fair and kind of running wild as a kid. It definitely planted the seed for me to come back to Maine later in life and start a farm and engage with MOFGA again.”
