What a day! Met some amazing farmers just a touch south of Portland, around Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Stopped by Jordan's Farm where there is a tremendous confluence of local farm products. An entire meal can be found after perusing the isles and coolers at this comprehensive stand. It really shows what a well organized network of farmers can do.
Later on I stopped by Green Spark Farm. Don't let the beautiful, delicious produce fool you, they're on their 2nd season! They humbly attribute credit to MOFGA's journeyperson program and farming mentors, but the majority their success surely comes from the enthusiasm and positive energy of their own sparks. And kudos to the community for voting with their forks and supporting young entrepreneurs who are caring for land.
