Pandemic threatens Wiscasset nonprofit farm’s long-term survival

TIMES RECORD • February 3, 2021

Morris Farm, a nonprofit providing food and educational programming, is asking for donations after the COVID-19 staunched its income, putting its programs and new free farm stand at risk of collapse. Without any fundraising events or programs to provide income, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the nonprofit will last about a year before its endowment will run out, said Madelyn Hennessey, Morris Farm board chairperson. Though the organization is known for summer camps and educational programs for children and adults, its newest venture is an anonymous take-what-you-need farm stand. The stand offers fresh local produce to anyone in need.
