Ed,
Here's a chance for some of your group to play in the dirt for a day. Thius is from Crown O' Maine Organic Coop.

This week a local farmer needs your help in the trenches!
At Goranson Farm in Dresden, potato blight from Alabama wrecked havoc with their 15 acres of organic heirloom potato crops. Now, with cold weather approaching, they are under the gun to salvage the six acres that will become next years’ seed. They are short staffed. They need potato pickers. And they need them yesterday.
As a product of years of family fun in the potato rows, I can honestly say it is not the worst work on the farm. Picking potatoes is a great bonding experience. (In fact it goes a lot faster if you bring a friend.) All of the Cook kids’ first boyfriends and girlfriends had to ‘pass the test’ in the fields at Skylandia Organic Farm – bring your
lovely one out to Goranson Farm this week or weekend and see just what they’re made of. Do they really love LOCAL food? Enough to pitch in? Or is it all just a bunch of lip service because they’re after your –hmm- homecooking…
All kidding aside, the Goransons do need help. They’re even willing to pay. So this week Crown O’Maine is using our network of customers to enlist what I’d like to call the “1st Division of the Maine Organic fArmed Forces”.
Call 737-8834 to help out. Volunteer if you can. And if it seems like Dresden is outside of your range, consider enlisting to help a farm in your area – ITS CRUNCH TIME.
