The 2026 Common Ground Country Fair poster was designed by artist Brenda McGuinness.
Thank you for your interest in staying connected with MOFGA!
There are many ways to engage with the MOFGA community from utilizing gardening how-to’s and attending educational events to taking policy action and shopping in our online store.
MOFGA’s vision is a future where local organic farming nourishes all people, and sustains thriving ecosystems, healthy communities, and fair economies. We are working to realize this vision by supporting farmers, empowering people to feed their communities, and advocating for an organic future.
Over the last several months MOFGA has been hard at work.
- After writing a letter to Hannaford Supermarket urging them to adopt a Maine-First Sourcing Policy, and launching a petition inviting Mainers to let Hannaford know they want local food in their stores, Hannaford asked MOFGA to meet and discuss the policy idea. MOFGA met with the grocery chain on April 16 and delivered the petitions. Stay up-to-date on the outcomes of the meeting!
- We’ve been preparing for the 50th annual Common Ground Country Fair. Join us at our poster exhibition in Augusta and Waterville. Visit our website for more information.
- MOFGA’s policy team advocated for organic-friendly policies in Washington D.C., and continued to fight against PFAS chemicals.
- We re-designed our quarterly publication, The Maine Organic Farmer & Gardener, from a newspaper to a magazine. The publication is available for purchase in our online store and is also now carried in several retail outlets around the state.
We always appreciate hearing from our community. If you have questions or ideas to share, please contact us at [email protected].
