Recently at the Healthy Lincoln County office, the team learned about an incredible farm in Waldoboro that not only accepts Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Electronic Benefits Transfer benefits, but also has a senior farmshare program. I immediately wanted to learn more about the work that they were doing!
Energy Matters: Think About It!
According to a recent National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report, U.S. coastlines are likely to face an additional foot of rising seas over the next three decades. The report’s projections are particularly high for the Gulf Coast. If sea level rise along the eastern part of the Gulf Coast continues apace, it will match the high-end sea level forecast for 2050. NASA, too, reports seas rising at a rate exceeding even high-end forecasts at sites like Pensacola, Fla., and Dauphin Island, Ala.
LOCAL LEVEL
As we come up on the next round of annual town meetings for the year, a troubling development is brewing.
Characters Of The County: Nobleboro’s Deb Singer Helped Spark the Re-Use Revolution
Sustainability is a core value that Deb Singer has spent most of her life championing.

Bringing Food Home April is for Celebrating Dairy
I am not sure I would have guessed April would have been dubbed dairy month in Maine. However, it makes me happy that dairy farmers get a month of celebration through Maine Harvest of the Month!
The Oral Histories of 19 Members of Bristol’s Greatest Generation Part 13: All in a Day’s Work
After the war the U.S. was booming with a new consumer-based economy. Maine and Bristol remained pretty much stuck in the past. Taxes were inequitable, many roads were still dirt and others were out of repair. Much of our infrastructure and institutions were antiquated. Most people returned to their previous jobs or became a “jack of all trades.” It’s interesting that so many of these people lived into their 90s.
