LEWISTON – New developments in Maine agriculture will be the topic at the March 16 Great Falls Forum Series.
The panel discussion will feature Jill Agnew, farmer at Willow Pond Farm; Tori Lee Jackson, program administrator for agriculture and natural resources at University of Maine Cooperative Extension; and Justin Triquet and Nikki Leroux, owners of Forest Fungi Farms. It will be moderated by Nancy McBrady, deputy commissioner, Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.
The talk is free and open to the public and will be from noon to 1 p.m. in Callahan Hall, Lewiston Public Library, 200 Lisbon St. It will also be streamed live via Zoom and the Lewiston Public Library Facebook page. Those attending should bring their own lunch.
With more than 7,600 farms across Maine, ranging in scale, type, and production practices, there’s always something new happening in agriculture. These panelists represent some of the diversity of the state’s agricultural landscape. The discussion will explore what they believe are the greatest challenges–and opportunities–for Maine agriculture as 2023 continues to get underway.
Admission is free, and reservations are only required if attending via Zoom. The Zoom link will be posted on the library website and Facebook before the event.
