AgrAbility program coordinator Bella Russo co-hosted the "Small Tools for Small-scale Farming" workshop with the Maine New Farmer Project at Rustic Roots Farm in Farmington, ME. Programming was provided about small tools and proper use from an efficiency, ergonomic, and injury prevention standpoint on highly physical small farm tasks. Participants were able to ask questions about the program and were provided brochures.

ME AgrAbility staff participated in the aquaculture learning day in Franklin, ME. Extension staff got a tour of the National Coldwater Marine Aquaculture Center and the UMaine Center for Aquaculture research. The program was an opportunity for Maine AgrAbility to learn more about aquaculture research in ME and connect to other service providers there, including USDA and FSA.
