Maine's next food craze? Post any recipes you have for using seaweed! http://www.mainebiz.biz/article/20170913/NEWS01/170919971/1092?utm_source=enews&utm_medium=Daily%2BReport&utm_campaign=Wednesday

The Island Institute in Rockland is releasing a study Friday that foresees a future where edible seaweed is not only a Maine brand but also a sustainable addition to the economy island and coastal communities that depend so heavily on fishing and lobsteri

We all need to do our part to make sure all Mainers have food!

Wouldn't this be a great spot for "Maine Food Showcase" featuring rooftop gardens, info center, food outlets, real life sustainability demonstration projects - out of the box thinking to drive Maine based food economy!!

Nice to see these local food efforts.

Erin Parisien has the heart and soul of a gambler. Now she and her husband, Richard Nielsen, have gone all in, raising and selling beef cattle in northern Maine, and they’re betting the area’s appetite for locally produced beef will pay off.

Maine lobster comes home!
http://hashtagmaine.bangordailynews.com/2016/07/22/the-internets/15-pound-lobster-dubbed-larry-escapes-florida-restaurant-airlifted-home-maine/

We here in Maine tend to take for granted our intimate and often scientific knowledge of the lobster. We know how big they’ve gotta be before you can keep them. We know what a shedder is. We’re very defensive about how to make a proper lobster roll (what kind of monster adds chopped celery to …

Cool raised bed design!

I have never been much of a gardener. And up until recently, I haven’t had much space to plant anything. But moving into a suburban neighborhood has suddenly opened up some opportunities to grow something of my own. After looking around on the web for some ideas, I came across a great DIY gardening…

History worth saving!

A Civil War-era fort that was built to help guard the shipways of Portland Harbor is about to be made a bit more accessible.

This is a worthy goal - we all need to join in!

It should come as no surprise that Mainers, like most Americans, throw away more food than anything else. But no widespread effort has taken hold in Maine to divert more food and organics from landfills and incinerators. About 43 percent of what Mainers send to landfills and incinerators is composta…

Pollinate, pollinate, pollinate!
http://www.mofga.org/Publications/MaineOrganicFarmerGardener/Spring2013/BlueOrchardBee/tabid/2552/Default.aspx

The honeybee is the pollinator we most depend on, but other pollinators exist, and 4,000 species of feral (native) bees live in North America. Roughly one-third of these bees nest in small cavities or tunnels, such as hollow plant stems, borer tunnels and cracks between house shingles. Increased urb…

Another program to help promote local food usage! http://bangordailynews.com/2015/11/10/opinion/editorials/new-home-new-possibilities-for-good-shepherd-food-bank/

One in four Maine children doesn’t have sufficient access to nutritious food, so Good Shepherd’s core mission to get high-quality food to the state’s hungry remains vital, but with a new warehouse in Hampden come new possibilities.
