Join the Midcoast Maine Sustainable Agriculture Committee for a Drop-In Conversation<\/strong> at the Belfast Free Library \u2014 a casual opportunity to connect, socialize, and share ideas with fellow farmers. These informal gatherings, hosted at local libraries and grange halls across the region, foster collaboration and strengthen our local agricultural network.<\/p>\n

The committee\u2019s mission is to connect and inform the region\u2019s agricultural producers through conversation, education, and demonstration.<\/strong> Each fall and winter, members come together to identify community needs and partner with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension<\/strong> to shape spring programs and organize engaging summer field tours.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a longtime grower or just getting started, stop by to join the conversation and be part of a community that supports sustainable farming in Midcoast Maine.<\/p>\n
