Buying Clubs are in a town near you!
If you are interested in finding a buying club, give Crown O'Maine a ring. We have helped buying clubs get started all over Maine. This week we have had a Calais club join in, a Porter club, and a Caribou club, and a Kittery Club. Clubs are on the way in Fort Kent and Alfred. Clubs exist in Steuben, Blue Hill, Portland, BANGOR, and many other places.

I also thought I would share a project I am working on(http://www.buyingclubsoftware.com/). We hope to have it ready in early 2010, and will be working with the Portland Food Coop to test out our new software specifically made for buying clubs.

Meadow Ridge Perennial Farm - and anyone else - what farmers markets open in May? Any in eastern Maine? Thanks!

You might try contacting the cooperative extension for your county. They should have a master gardener program and volunteers that like to help with these sorts of projects.
