Our Maine Objective

We like to say that we build bridges between Maine's food & beverage producers and its public.

Bridges are places of encounter.

Sustainable, thriving food systems require a nuanced understanding of stakeholders and stakes: the farmers, fishermen, brewers, bakers, growers, and makers, their communities, their land, their craft.

 

To this end, we provide educational opportunities that bring to the surface the rich narratives to be found within Maine's food system.
