Situated on over 600 acres of preserved coastal landscape in Freeport, Maine – Wolfe’s Neck Center uses its setting to connect people of all ages to the food they eat and where it comes from. As a nonprofit, Wolfe’s Neck Center draws upon a rich history of innovation and experimentation to continue the legacy of this place today. Through regenerative farming, innovative soil health research, and visitor interactions, the land is now used as an educational resource to create a healthier planet for all.
Joining for episode 22 of Sourcing Matters we welcome Dave Herring:
Executive Director at Wolfe’s Neck Center; and Fiona Wilson, Chair
of the Board at Wolfe’s Neck, and ED at Center for Social
Innovation and Enterprise, Asst. Prof. at UNH’s Paul College of
Business.
Our 45 minute discussion ranges from regenerative best practice
-to- the current state of milk -to- the business potential of
regional production -to- encouraging more connection to nature, and
systems, through getting out - and camping. Fiona and Dave
have begun a new epicenter of food, agriculture and environmental
research on Casco Bay in Maine. It’s a marquee example of
Sustainable Coastal Farming that works to “Transform our
relationship with farming & food, to transform the planet.” Hear
how these folks are amplifying, educating and curating an
ecosystem.
