Mainers should do two things right away to help ensure we have reliable sources of healthy food now and in the future. The first thing we can do is support our local food producers. Second, Gov. Mills and the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, as well as our congressional delegation, should make emergency funds available to farms so that not a single Maine farm goes out of business during this pandemic. ~ Sarah Alexander, Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association
