As part of MGA’s ongoing efforts to support organic/transitioning grain growers, we are now hosting office hour sessions with experts on all sides of the regional grain economy. 

In this session, we’ll break down what it actually takes to market your business effectively in today’s digital landscape without wasting time creating content that doesn’t connect. We’ll cover how to clearly position your business, identify and speak to the right audience, and better understand how social media algorithms and content strategy work together.

Maine-grown rice? You heard that right!

This tropical grain may seem out-of-place here in the Northeast, but Ben Rooney of the Maine Rice Project has been proving otherwise for over a decade.

Join us September 12th at Ararat Farms to see ripening rice crops up close (both upland and paddy varieties) and learn how you can organically cultivate and process this grain crop right here in Maine.
