Abstract

"Cover Story" piece on Maine's Common Ground Country Fair, which is sponsored by the 30-year-old Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) and held annually at MOFGA's 35-acre fair site and headquarters in Unity. The fair is a celebration of "ecologically sustainable practices" and is attended annually by tens of thousands. MOFGA has about 3,300 members with certified organic farms in the state that have tripled in the last five years to around 12,000 acres, or between two and three percent of farm acreage statewide.
