SUMMARY:Glean with Us!
DESCRIPTION:Come lend a hand\, help a farmer\, connect with community members\, and have some fun!  All are welcome to join us and the Androscoggin Gleaners as we harvest vegetables to reduce food waste and increase access to good food at Whiting Farm in Auburn!   This is a great activity for families\, work teams\, youth groups\, and any interested individual. \nWhat is gleaning?  Gleaning is the act of collecting leftover crops from a farmers’ fields after they have been commercially harvested or on fields where it is not economically profitable to harvest. Gleaning helps to save fruits and vegetables from becoming food waste\, and can help increase access to good food when gleaned produce is donated to a food pantry – which is what we will be doing with all our gleaned food!  Gleaners will often help with other farm tasks as requested to maintain the reciprocal relationship of generosity. Whiting Farm has a new program this year called ‘5 Fields for Families’ in which 5 acres of crops are all grown to be donated to food insecure families. \nOn October 6th\, please bring: \n\nLayered clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather\, and that which you don’t mind getting dirt/muddy\nWork gloves if you have them\nFull water bottle\n\nRSVP is requested\, but not required.  We hope you can join us! \n \nThe Androscoggin Gleaners are a local group of volunteers started in 2018 that on a regular basis during the harvest season coordinate with local farmers\, food pantries\, and volunteers like YOU to set up gleans in the local region. Want to learn more? Connect with the Androscoggin Gleaners on Facebook\, by email: androgleaners@gmail.com\, or by phone: 207-370-1061.

SUMMARY:2015 Open Farm Day
DESCRIPTION:A Maine tradition\, close to 100 family farms will open their gates to the public this Sunday\, July 26 from 10am-3pm. Open Farm Day is an annual family event that connects consumers with the men and women who help produce their food. Activities may include barn and field tours\, milking\, hay rides\, petting zoos\, nature trails\, beautiful scenery\, samples for tasting and refreshments. \nFor more details on participating farms visit: http://www.getrealmaine.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/home.showpage/pageID/119/preview/true \nEvents like Open Farm Day have an impact on the Agri-Tourism in the State of Maine. According to the USDA\, in 2012\, AG Tourism & Recreational Services in Maine increased 78% (Increasing from $1\,012\,000 to $1\,803\,000) and participating farms increased by 141% (112 to 270 farms). Now is a great time for consumers to visit and support Maine’s farms and be part of the growing support for locally grown foods. According to Gary Keough\, New England Field Office State Statistician\, National Agricultural Statistics Service\, “the average size of a Maine farm is 178 acres\, up seven percent since 2007. Organic production and aquaculture sales increased from the last Census and the value of aquaculture sales increased from $26.3 million to $75.1 million (ranking us eighth nationally); organic products increased from $23.3 million to $36.4 million.” \nSource: www.maine.gov
