Special thanks are extended to Barbara O’Brien of Barnswallow Pottery in Newfield for lending the sides for a tent at the Common Ground Fair.
The printing of the Unique Maine Farms’ book
on Maine paper by a Maine printer would never
have materialized without the phenomenal donation from the Leonard C. and Mildred F. Ferguson Foundation. Unique Maine Farms will always treasure their incredibly generosity and their
willingness to support the project from its beginning
days. Thank you!
