Bolton Speaks About Food ‘Incubators’ for BDN Article

Jason Bolton, assistant extension professor and food safety specialist at the University of Maine, was interviewed for the Bangor Daily News article “Local food ‘incubators’ could ease burden of regulation on Maine farmers, food producers.” Bolton said food production incubators such as Coastal Farms and Food Inc. in Belfast, which offers cold and freezer storage space, kitchen and equipment rentals and food processing services, could easily be applied to other agricultural operations such as dairy or slaughtering. He said he expects to see more food incubators open in Maine as farmers and food producers seek larger markets.
