The Eat Local Foods Coalition of Maine invites farmers and fishermen to participate in a regional forum that will explore possible ways to work together to strengthen our local food system and our farming and fishing communities.
Join us for dinner to discuss the challenges facing all of Maine’s food producers while exploring the potential for collaborative solutions.
