Our mentors are local farmers, foresters, and craft-masters who have spent decades doing what they love. Mentorship offers a means of reaching our area's youth in ways that the traditional classroom often cannot.

Get Involved
Join Us On the Land or Help Fund our Programs
As of 2021 we are actively looking for farmer colleagues and project investors.
For Farmer Colleagues:
Are you farming? Does this sound like a great fit for you? Please come and talk with us. Do you know someone that might be interested? Please let us know. We’re actively building an experienced, competent, committed team who share goals for the land, but manage their own independent farm business.
For Investors:
We offer the opportunity to get involved in funding something long term (or short, your choice) that is an exciting and important addition to our local community here in mid-coast Maine. As well as supporting land access for farmers committed to regenerative agriculture, our investors will be helping to build living relationships between farmers, local craft and business people, and young people from the region searching for real connections in their world.
If you, or anyone you know might be interested in learning more, please don’t be shy. We’re almost always available, as is Bob Bernstein, Director for Northeast Farm Access, for further discussion.
