About Us
Our mission is to promote community health and well-being by facilitating intergenerational and intercultural connections in garden-based settings. We value equity and inclusion and envision a world where everyone has a seat at a table and access to healthy food.
What is the Foodscapes Vision?
Maine Foodscapes believes in access to local, nutritious, and delicious food for all Mainers and is dedicated to bridging this gap. We work to inspire and educate community members throughout Southern Maine to grow their own food.
What is Community Agriculture?
Community agriculture initiatives are often run by organizations (1) relying on volunteer structures; (2) growing produce sustainably; and (3) aiming to improve health and access to food in their communities.

Maine Foodscapes has been building raised bed vegetable gardens for our community since 2018. We can’t wait for the season ahead!

We provide opportunities for families, individuals, businesses, municipalities, and community groups to install gardens and increase their skills in gardening, cooking, and wellness-based practices.
We recognize that gardens are powerful spaces of healing and transformation for a variety of populations. Through actively increasing food access and educational opportunities for all Mainers, we are assisting individuals and households at risk of food insecurity in their own self-empowerment. We work from the ground up. Maine Foodscapes’ mission is to grow gardens, leaders, and resiliency throughout our communities and neighborhoods.
