Small farms that normally sell everything from meat to cheese to baked goods to regular wholesale customers are dealing with indefinitely canceled orders as restaurants reduce their services to takeout and delivery or shut their doors entirely. To make matters worse, some local indoor farmers markets that normally take place around the state are canceled, leaving farmers with even fewer options to get their food into the hands of Mainers. With direct customer and wholesale sale options greatly limited, farmers are turning to social media to get the word out on what they have available and how best to access it.
