The Skowhegan Economic Development Corp. has been awarded a $200,000 grant to help support its partnership with Maine Grains, University of Maine system and Sodexo’s Maine Course to provide packaged, grain-based foods to schools. The University of Maine system and Sodexo are seeking healthful, ready-to-eat, local, grain-based foods for their menus. Equipment financed by the prize will allow Maine Grains to turn local milling, cheesemaking, seaweed, blueberry and soy byproducts into high fiber, high protein packed goods for sale to schools.
