	McLaughlin Garden In 1936 Bernard McLaughlin began planting what would become one of Maine's most beloved gardens. A century-old Maine farmstead with massive stone walls and huge barn provided a unique background for his sophisticated collection of trees, woody shrubs, and perennials. Now over seventy years old, the landmark two acre garden is under the stewardship of a nonprofit organization formed to preserve the historic home, barn and garden for the public.

	Rippling Waters Organic Farm In 2007, RWF was awarded a three-year grant from the USDA Community Food Projects Competitive Grants Program. These funds have enabled us to dramatically increase our community food impact, primarily by supporting the farmâ€™s growing grassroots initiative â€“ the Saco Valley Food Connection (SVFC) Project. This undertaking combines community food work with education to increase food security in the five towns composing Maineâ€™s largest school district.

	Rising Tide, Inc. In 1978, the club reorganized as a cooperative nonprofit corporation in the State of Maine called Rising Tide, Inc. and began a storefront with 800 square feet of shop space up the hill from its original location. In 1999, Rising Tide moved to a 4,500 square foot space in the Coastal Marketplace on Business Route 1. Since the 1999 relocation, membership has grown from 475 members to more than 1,900 in 2008.

	Sustainable agriculture program The academic program emphasizes: how to increase farm profits by decreasing the costs of crop and livestock production; how to build soil tilth and fertility through rotations, multiple cropping, and nutrient cycling; how to protect water quality by decreasing the need to use synthetic agrichemicals; how to manage crop pests and livestock diseases with integrated, ecologically sound strategies

	The Augusta Food Bank The Augusta Food Bank was established in 1981 to provide a supplemental source of food to individuals and families in need. We now serve an average of 335 households each month. Residents of Augusta or Manchester may apply for an order of groceries once every 28-30 days. Our Food Bank, a Partner Agency of United Way of Kennebec Valley, is managed by a Board of Directors made up entirely of volunteers and representatives from the community and participating congregations.
