MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • August 7, 2022
The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association formed in 1971. MOFGA celebrated its 50th anniversary one year ago. To mark that milestone, it published “The Organic Farming Revolution: Past, Present, Future,” which contains a collection of essays and poetry by 34 writers and is graced with gorgeous photographs on every other page. The authors make up an A-list of writers — local and national figures — on organic farming and gardening: John Bunker, CR Lawn, Michael Pollan, Eliot Coleman, Chellie Pingree and Anna Lappe, to name just a few. The substantive essays on the history and trajectory of organic farming in Maine, combined with the poems and photos, serve as an elegant commemorative to MOFGA’s five decades. ~ Dave Canarie
