The Maine Farm Report
I started thinking about this website about two years ago. The purpose is to be entertaining, and educational to consumers and kids. These video interviews will create an archive of our farmers. Sign up for the email list, and you'll get a reminder each time we put up a new video. At the moment, you will see a trailer for the series, and our first two interviews should be out within the next month.
Please check it out, and share any feedback you have:
http://www.themainefarmreport.com/
Our goal would be to launch a new one every week, but until we have more funding or more free help, each episode takes a while to put together. We hope to secure some type of funding so we can do more for education in food, and less of the day job.
If you like this project and would like to help me find funding for these and other great projects, let's talk!

Gail, Same as Meadow Ridge Per Farm. I sell bulb flowers, perennials, herbs (potted and some cut) and greens. In May we also have baked goods, meats, dairy...pretty much everything else but the late-season vege.
The two markets we attend open in May, Mother's Day weekend. This is great for us because we sell perennials and cut flowers. Our markets also have bakers, meats, annuals, and a few farmers with early crops. And to Penobscot - all the markets love t…
Hi Gail,
In response to your question: "Some of your markets open in May! Can you tell me just what you have for sale at such an early date? Thanks!", there are several things to consider. One is that many growers now have greenhouses or hoophouses…

Thank you for the quick response! We have low man power at the moment, but moving inland does make a lot of sense - maybe in the near future we'll have the capacity to make that happen. I'll keep you posted on our progress!
Hi again Penobscot,
