Local farm program grows to include seedlings along with produce

FORECASTER • September 23, 2020

Local farmers and food distribution nonprofits have put a new twist on the practice of distributing produce to the needy, adding seedlings to give people a chance to grow their own food. “The farmers in this area are an amazing group of people,” said Jamison Pacheco, programs director at the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust, one of the nonprofits helping to distribute 2,000 seedlings from area farms.
