Join us! mofga.org/join We Stand With Our Farmers Our members make it possible for us to act quickly in times of crisis. When COVID disrupted our farms and food supplies we: • Distributed $141,000 through 79 Maine Farm Emergency Grants, in partnership with Maine Farmland Trust. • Helped farmers and food purchasers understand current food supplies and demands to reduce food waste. • Created trainings and materials to help farmers navigate changes in labor, food safety, business planning, and COVID-relief programs. • Advocated at the state and federal level for programs to support Maine's farms through the pandemic. Local organic farms support healthy communities.
