Liberation Farms

Liberation Farms was founded in 2014 by the Somali Bantu Community Association (SBCA) of Maine in response to a call from the Somali Bantu community to return to its agricultural roots. SBCA, an organization led and run by Somali Bantus, has been providing vital transitional services, advocacy, and programming since 2005 to the 3,000+ Bantus who resettled in Lewiston after escaping the civil war in Somalia.

Mainers Feeding Mainers

The Mainers Feeding Mainers program is a partnership between Good Shepherd Food Bank (GSFB) and Maine farms, dairies, fisheries, and other local producers to eliminate hunger in Maine. The goal is to get fresh, nutritious, Maine-harvested food to Maine families in need while supporting our rural communities by investing in local food producing businesses.
