Welcome to the Maine Food Map! The Eat Local Foods Coalition
has developed this map to help consumers and food producers

tool as useful as possible.

Search for products or farms near you: For example to find apples within 30 miles, click 'Search', change 'Name' to 'What we Produce/Offer' includes and type apple. Enter 30 miles and your zip code.

If your street is not recognized by Google Maps, you can click on "Map select a location" and place your map pin manually.

More About the Map: The Maine Food Map is an evolving project. The beta version that is currently available has been created with a very limited budget using free mapping software by ZeeMaps. We have already received many suggestions about functionality that people would like to see added to the map, but at this time there is not funding to support a customized solution. Special thanks to ELFC Member Organizations, the Maine Department of Agriculture, Time and Tide RC&D, Threshold to Maine RC&D, Heart of Maine RC&D and ZeeMaps for their support of this project.
