Don’t Miss “At the Farm Gate”<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A new column by Guest Author Sean McCart! The focus will be farmers and farm markets, but you won’t have to think too far outside the box to benefit. We may be “At the Farm Gate,” but some of the thinking can easily transfer to the Grange Hall Door.  If you have ideas and questions, you can certainly reach out to Sean or me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submitting Events Is Easier <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Remember, we now have a specific form for submitting events<\/a> on the site, and we’re using it! Keep submitting! Ideally, submit event announcements at least thirty days in advance. Then send us a “breaking news” update two weeks before the event. Remember, people are visiting the site from all over Maine and beyond!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Idea for Your Grange<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It wasn’t at a Grange Hall, but we saw a Little Free Library Shed–a small garden shed outfitted with shelves and loaded with books. Why not?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
