As we enter a holiday season, when many families are gathering around meals in celebration, we should all commit to local organic producers. Local organic farms are the foundation of healthy communities — and they need your support now more than ever. The more than 550 certified organic farmers and producers in Maine are providing nutrient-dense food of every variety, year-round — including cranberries, blueberries, potatoes, beans, wheat, dairy, meat and maple syrup. You can feed your family food that comes from Maine soil, produced without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers that pollute our air and water. ~ Sarah Alexander, Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association
