This month, MFT is hitting the road to visit Maine farms! There’s no better way to celebrate our 20th Anniversary than with an epic road trip and listening tour that will bring us straight to the fields and barns of the farmers we serve.
During this anniversary year, our staff and board are working on strategic planning and setting a course for the coming years. The listening tour will help us to dig into what is happening on the ground in Maine’s farming community and inform our work in the future. From June 10-27 our staff will be visiting 25+ farms from York County to The County. During the final week of the tour we'll hop in an RV and make our way through Washington, Aroostook, and Piscataquis counties, stopping at farms and camping in dooryards. We'll be sharing photos and updates from the road on social media throughout the tour, so follow along on Instagram and Facebook.
The tour will end at our Root Down Farm Viability Party on Ripley Farm in Dover-Foxcroft on June 27. Join us!
