SUMMARY:York County Farmers' Network Series: Healthy Farmer\, Healthy Farm
DESCRIPTION:York County is home to a vibrant mix of farms—from small specialty growers to multi-generation family operations. \nThe York County Farmers Network (YCFN) was brought back to life to support this community\, foster connection\, and help local agriculture thrive well into the future. \nIn recent years\, York County farms have embraced agritourism and direct-to-consumer markets\, contributing to Maine’s $172 million in direct farm sales. But as farming evolves\, so do the challenges—like preparing for change in long term weather patterns\, navigating labor and finances\, and planning for the next generation. \nMaine Agricultural Mediation Program: “A Healthy Farm Is Nothing Without a Healthy Farmer” \nThe Maine Agricultural Mediation Program (MAMP)\, part of 91¸ŁŔű Extension’s Health & Wellness Programs\, supports farmers\, fishermen\, food system workers\, teams\, and families through difficult conversations and conflict resolution. MAMP assists with interpersonal and business-related conflicts\, navigation of USDA-related issues\, and building confidence with personal finances. The program focuses on sustainable\, self-built solutions to strengthen farm operations and wellbeing. \nRegister for York County Farmers’ Network Series: Healthy Farmer\, Healthy Farm here! \n  \n
