Abstract

Article about the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on Maine farms and the sale of locally-grown produce. Discusses increased demand for fresh vegetables, dairy, and meat from local farms, as well as seedlings for home gardens. References lockdown boredom, fears of food shortages and supply-chain breakdowns, and widespread restaurant closures as contributing to the heightened interest from consumers.
