Maine Harvest Bucks is run by a collaboration of organizations: Maine Federation of Farmers’ Markets (MFFM), Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), St. Mary’s Nutrition Center (SMNC), and Cultivating Community.

Farmers’ Markets & Farm Stands are managed by the Maine Federation of Farmers’ Markets
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA’s) are managed by MOFGA
The Good Food Bus is managed by SMNC
Mobile markets are managed by Cultivating Community
Small grocery stores are managed by Good Shepherd Food Bank, via our sister program, Farm Fresh Rewards
