Perhaps the most radical thing you can do in our time is to start turning over the soil, loosening it up for the crops to settle in, and then stay home and tend them.
- Rebecca Solnit

Since its inception in 1971, MOFGA has educated both government leaders and the general public concerning the benefits of organic methods, and the numerous health and environmental risks of chemically dependent, conventional agriculture. In addition to hosting a variety of educational events in Unity and throughout the state, staff and board members also participate in coalitions and advisory committees, advocating aggressive reductions of toxics and pesticides. Through its renowned newspaper, The Maine Organic Farmer & Gardener, MOFGA is the only organization to regularly report on the proceedings of the Maine Board of Pesticides Control. The quarterly newspaper also informs both consumers and growers about a variety of important legislative and regulatory issues.

We will be running our truck and tractor on biodiesel this season! This website is loaded with information about the making of biodiesel and its social implications. We have come across many sources of information about biodiesel and other alternative fuels, this is one of our favorites. www.biodieselcommunity.org

This website is unbelievably loaded with information about health and nutrition based on real and whole foods. It also contains a lot of information on studies conducted to learn more about the effects of industrial and processed foods on our society. We love the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon which is a wealth of knowledge about nutrition, ancient ways of eating and preserving food so that they retain the most nutrients possible. There are links to a ton of books regarding whole foods and a whole diet on this site as well. It’s worth a look. www.westonaprice.org

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) are one of agriculture’s most controversial issues. The earth’s food system, seed bank, and global health is devastatingly affected by the introduction of genetically modified organisms which behave in new, unpredictable, and sometimes uncontrollable ways. You can find out more information on this site as well as information about what communities world-wide are doing to stop the perpetuation of GMOs. Say NO! www.saynotogmos.org

Deborah Koons Garcia has put together an artful education about the dangers of genetically modified foods with her documentary "The Future of Food." Check it out! www.thefutureoffood.com
