Media report on UMaine Extension’s latest ‘Growing Maine’ video
The Bangor Daily News and Morning Ag Clips reported on the second installment of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s “Growing Maine,” a series of short documentaries highlighting Maine food producers and farm families. The second video in the series tells the story of Doreen and John Simmons of Stoneheart Farm in South Paris, and two invaluable members of their farm family — border collies Gwen and Bea. Without the dogs, the farmers say they could not do what they do. The “Growing Maine” series helps consumers get to know their food sources better, as farmers and producers share their behind-the-scenes perspectives. For those aspiring to farm, the videos are a way to hear directly from farmers and producers about what is most important to them.
