Newspaper Features Extension’s Tidewater Farm Garden Project
The Portland Press Herald on Wednesday featured the three-acre farm in Falmouth run by immigrants and refugees in the Center for African Heritage. The gardens are at the University of Maine’s Cooperative Extension Tidewater Farm, part of the University of Maine Regional Learning Center. Gardeners use the leased space for growing vegetables for African community members in Maine, providing spare produce for Portland schools, training African community youth and for therapy to help refugees cope with the trauma of war.
