The Community Garden at The Cabin provides individuals and families free gardening space and access to free seeds and seedlings as well as growing advice from certified UMaine Extension Master Gardener Volunteers (MGV) and other experienced gardeners. The Community Garden at The Cabin also grows produce for local food pantries, seniors, and neighbors in need, and in 2024 alone funneled over 1200 lbs of produce to pantries in Farmington and Industry.Our mission is to cultivate agricultural empowerment and promote long-term local food security through access to land and research-based gardening skills. Volunteers help assign and prepare garden spaces, assist in crop planning and care, source and plant seeds and seedlings, and share their gardening knowledge to help individuals and families. This project is sponsored by The Cabin and MGV Erica Haywood, as well as other local partner organizations who help provide supplies and who receive donations of extra or gleaned produce from the garden, including Clearwater Food Pantry and the St. Joseph Nutrition Center.<\/p>\n
