John, I'll skip to the "main point of the discussion" (although I like the question about MOFGA and rotenone - good point) My conventional friends at the farmers' markets do not have prices that are low enough that they could sell to grocery sto...

Hi John! In your first e-mail you say "how do we deal truthfully with the issue that organic farmers use dangerous pesticides as well." More accurately, it's that organic farmers MAY use dangerous pesticides as well. On our farm we use Bt, Entrus...

Other info about Me (please mention any food, fishing, agriculture, or community groups you are affiliated with):
The only CSA farm in Freeport that is family owned and operated and grows its own certified organic vegetables on site and year round is Laughing Stock Farm. If you want the best (freshest) produce year round and want to support a local working family farm then Laughing Stock Farm is the best place to go. Our summer share is one of the longest available in Maine, from June 1st to October 31st. Our winter share, from November 1st to May 31st, is the only CSA in Maine that offers fresh greens and baby root crops grown on site in addition to our traditional winter crops. We heat a third of an acre of greenhouses with used cooking oil collected from local restaurants, so the winter growing is the most carbon friendly option possible. We also grow peonies for wholesale cut flowers from Mid June to Mid July. We have been in business for over 13 years. We have CSA shares available. We look forward to meeting you.

Lisa,
At the most recent ELFC meeting you mentioned having resolved how to claim donations from the farm to food pantries on your taxes. Is that something you'd be willing to share the how-to of? I'd like to see fishermen doing the same type of thing.

Thank you,
Jenn Plummer
