Did you know? Maine Foodscapes is a Community Agriculture organization.
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.
