News from Planet Maine…

Pumpkin Vine Family Farm is a diversified family farm, committed to farming in a way that enriches the human and natural communities. The site is done using Google Sites.

“Will is great to work with! He listened to what we wanted for our farm image, and helped design an attractive site. He encouraged me to manage the page content myself, but took care of the more complicated features quickly and capably. I feel empowered to update our site myself, and confident knowing that Will is there to help if I ever get stuck. I would recommend Planet Maine to anyone, but especially those who want to update their site themselves.”

We are a quiet rural town with a tradition of community.

Many of us are from families who settled here in the 1800s; the rest of us moved here because we value the peace and privacy of small town life.

We are located about half an hour inland from the midcoast, close enough to access its many diversions, but far enough to escape the bustle.

We wouldn’t have it any other way!

The Somerville site is built on the Google Sites platform and features a news blog, calendar, and town archives.

SWLA’s mission is to protect and restore the lands and waters necessary to sustain biodiversity in the upper Sheepscot River watershed region. It is now part of Midcoast Conservency.

Maine Initiatives is a network of individuals supporting greater social, economic, and environmental justice in Maine through informed, intentional, and collective philanthropy.

From rural people saying no to aerial pesticide spraying to city tenants winning lead abatement, from small towns turning back big box developers to urban residents gaining control over downtown redevelopment, from immigrants securing basic protections under the law to the GLBTQ community securing equal rights under the law, Maine Initiatives’ grantees are transforming Maine.
