We’re happy to report that we tested our wells and confirmed that results show that they meet drinking water standards. Groundwater testing is the most reliable indicator of contamination of water and soil so this is very good news. Furthermore, there is no record of sludge/septage application to our vegetable fields. Our hearts go out to our fellow farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been threatened by contamination. We encourage you to show solidarity with affected farms, by supporting MOFGA and Maine Farmland Trust’s legislative and fundraising efforts on this issue.
