Maine BioInfo receives financial support from industry organizations and companies who develop and market biotech crops. I am also a backyard gardener and am a strong supporter of efforts to encourage local purchases, including food. As the former head of our town's economic development committee I helped find a home for the farmer's market in Stonington and started a buy local campaign.
