Maine Food Map
Welcome to the Maine Food Map! The Eat
Local Foods Coalition of Maine is excited to offer this new tool
for connecting people with local foods. We are still making
improvements, but this beta version is ready for use and
feedback.
The Maine Food Map is
accepting new postings as well as edits to exiting posting.
Instructions are below.
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.
Show/Hide Map Categories: Hiding
categories that you are not interested in will speed up your
viewing/searching experience. Select or hide layers by clicking on
items in the legend at the bottom of the map.
Add a posting to the Map: Click
on Add. Enter the information on each tab. Be sure to select the
proper map category. When you click submit, your street address
will resolve, click on the address in the pop up to select it. The
latitude/longitude will automatically be entered based on your
address. If your street is not recognized by Google Maps, you can
click on "Map select a location" and place your map pin
manually.
Edit a Map Posting: You must
open the map in full screen
mode to make edits. Click on your posting. An info bubble
will appear, click on the business name. The "change entry" window
will open and you can make any necessary revisions. Click submit
when you are done.
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. If you
would like to make a contribution to the Maine Food Map, please use
