For those of you who are unfamiliar with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, it is a partnership of the University and county, state and federal governments that offers practical, locally-based solutions for farmers, small business owners, youth, parents, consumers and other community members. Their programs include offerings pertaining to the Maine Food System and 4-H Youth Development such as, Master Gardener Volunteers, 4-H Clubs and events, Harvest for Hunger and Master Food Preservers. The board’s role is to assist Extension staff and stakeholders by providing support with their outreach efforts, helping raise awareness of the offerings available, as well as budgeting and other support functions, as required.
Meetings are held every other month starting in January. Meetings can be attended in person or by Zoom.
