creates and sustains greater access to healthy, local foods; empowers people to play many roles in restoring the local, sustainable food system; and models, teaches, and advocates for ecological food production. Since 2009, they’ve led the New American Sustainable Agriculture Project, now the largest land-based farmer training program in Maine, to support former refugees, as well as other immigrants, in creating farm businesses and growing food for their families and neighbors. The farmers provide the produce for our CSA and wholesale programs while also selling at 18 farmers’ markets and many other sites. In 2013, they paired up with the City of Portland to manage, support, and expand the community gardens program. One new city garden will open in 2016/2017. For all Portland-area food growers, they offer gardener training through their Citizen Gardener Workshop Series.
