20 reasons to support Maine farms!

We have an opportunity to make sure farming has a future in Maine, but we need to act now.

With mounting development pressure, a changing climate, and a higher demand for healthy, local food, the future of farming in Maine is uncertain. We need to pitch in to help protect farmland that feeds us, and support farmers as they grow Maine's economy. Our work is as critical now as it was when MFT started in 1999.

In honor of our 20th year of growing the future of farming in Maine and as part of New Member Month this year, we are sharing our top 20 reasons why we support Maine farms.  Help us celebrate by joining today or referring a friend!
