Unity farmers try to figure out future after discovery of PFAS on their land

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • February 16, 2022

In ordinary years, Adam Nordell and Johanna Davis of Songbird Farm in Unity spend the quiet winter months preparing for the next growing season.  But this February, after Nordell and Davis spoke publicly about finding “forever chemicals” in their well water, soil and produce, their focus is elsewhere. The couple is among the first Maine organic farmers to come forward about PFAS contamination. Now, instead of preparing for the spring planting season, they are propelling themselves into advocacy work.
