Maine AgrAbility has been working on producing videos featuring AgrAbility clients. The videos capture a fisherman, a dairy farmer, and a vegetable farmer selling value-added products from a food truck. Each story illustrates the essence of the farmer and their ability to continue to farm. Here's the teaser short clip: Final videos will be coming soon!

On July 18, Maine AgrAbility's veteran outreach specialist, Anne Devin, was asked to speak about her own experience in the military as part of a VetTalkx. (Other Maine women are featured on this video too, but Anne starts her talk at 24:29). Watch it here. Maine staff are proud to have Anne as art of the Maine team!

On August 8, Ellen Gibson presented "Gardening Forever" in Buxton, Maine. Ellen shared tips on stretching and safe lifting and demonstrated adaptive hand tools. Ellen also presented safe lifting and bending techniques to the Maine Cheese Guild members during their August 13 meeting.
