The Maine Agricultural Mediation Program (MAMP) Releases 2024 Wall Calendar

The Maine Agricultural Mediation Program (MAMP), a part of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, has recently launched its 2024 wall calendar.

Theme: Farming and Tending to the Land and Sea Throughout the Seasons

The calendar showcases twelve delightful images created by Maine-based artists, portraying the essence of agricultural work and life. From vibrant fields of crops to serene coastal scenes, each image narrates a unique story of Maine’s agricultural journey throughout the seasons.

The calendar measures 8.5 by 11 inches and is designed with wire binding for easy hanging. Copies can be purchased for $6.50, which includes shipping. To order a copy, please visit UMaine Extension’s website.
