Aaron Dority said… - I think that we have a lot of friends in common. I work at the Penobscot East Resource Center in Stonington. I would like to talk with you more about farm to schools for Hancock County. I'm working on a project to support local groundfishermen in eastern Maine, and they may be landing fish in Stonington, MDI, Gouldsboro and points east in the coming years. I'm also working on getting a Community Supported Fishery (CSF) started for shrimp in Stonington and on MDI this winter.
