What's in the Farmer's Field?
...helping people shape the future of western Maine.

The Eat Smart Eat Local initiative promotes local agriculture and aims to increase the availability of, and demand for, locally produced foods.

Congratulations to "What's in the Farmer's Field?"
Coloring Contest Winners

Somerset County Winner - Tiemer Rowe, III

Oxford County Winner - Cassandra McAllister

Franklin County - Hunter Warren

These fine artists were given the following guidelines:

Maine farmers grow a delicious selection of food throughout the year. Be creative, what’s your favorite season? Draw/color what the farmer is growing in his or her field. Your farmer could be growing fresh greens for salad in the spring, plump vegetables in the summer, bright orange pumpkins in the fall, or green balsam Christmas trees in the winter.
Your drawing will be judged on its creativity.

Thank you to all who entered. All submissions are the property of the Western Mountains Alliance and will be used to promote local agriculture in western Maine.

The food we consume is first most important in supporting health. But by increasing the amount of locally produced food we consume, we do much more. We support a healthier environment, preserve open spaces and contribute to the local economy – all by putting fresh food on the table. Won’t you join us?
