THE HUDSON FOUNDATION

The Hudson Foundation strives to strengthen our communities through strategic and thoughtful monetary grants. In recent years, the majority of non-profits funded by the foundation are organizations that serve the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized individuals and populations. The new focus of the Hudson Foundation is an aim to support programs that empower at-risk immigrant and refugee youth through a variety of programming.

Unique Maine Farms is most appreciative of the generous grant awarded by The Hudson Foundation.

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!
