Maine Families - Waldo County

09/02/2026

For those that do not know, Maine Families in Waldo County is run by Cooperative Extension. This means that we have a wonderful partnership to share produce with the families we work with. Sometimes, our staff gets to benefit as well.

Thank you to our friends at the County Garden for the delicious taste test of fresh watermelon during our staff meeting today. 🤤🤤😋😋

Sending out a reminder to check out your local Give and Take tables as there is often delicious produce available right in your own community.

We’ve made the science of baby brain development accessible for all. The Baby Brain Map is your interactive guide to early brain science. Start exploring now and help lay the foundation for healthy growth: https://bit.ly/4w3j4jg
