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!
