A fire Saturday evening destroyed a barn used to store farm equipment at the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association’s educational center in Unity, according to officials. The organization’s executive director, Sarah Alexander, said Tuesday that no one was at the 294 Crosby Brook Road campus on Saturday evening, so it’s unclear when the fire broke out. The barn, a 40-foot-by-80-foot single-story structure with a wood frame and metal roofing, was declared a “total loss.” There was at least one car, three tractors and several tractor attachments destroyed, as well as many hand tools and various farm equipment lost in the blaze.
