OUR WORK
We are a farm-based research and education nonprofit
empowering farmers and the public to create a more resilient regional food system in the Northeast.
From farmers to consumers to businesses, a whole system approach is necessary to adequately address the complex problems we are facing. Our three program areas work together for greater impact:
Visitor Experience & Education
Inspiring change through transformative farm experiences that explore the connection between our environment, our agricultural systems and the food we eat.
Farmer Training & Partnerships
Advancing climate-smart food systems change through mentorship, workforce development and knowledge-sharing networks.
Research & Market Transformation
Building and applying soil science for the benefit of farmers and providing direct support for improved farm stewardship and market access.
Casco History Lab
The Casco History Lab bridges our program areas, collaborating with internal staff and external partners to tell the stories of how people have cared for and stewarded this land over millennia.
SUPPORT OUR WORK
The support of our community is what keeps our campus in Freeport, Maine, free and open to all, from dawn until dusk, 365 days a year. Your donation helps us responsibly steward this extraordinary landscape of more than 600 acres and work toward a world where agriculture and food systems support farmer viability, thriving ecosystems and vibrant communities.
