flag MOFGA is cutting six staff jobs due to over $1M in lost funding, aiming to ensure long-term stability.

flag The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) is cutting six staff positions due to over $1 million in lost federal and other funding, with projected budget deficits through 2030. flag The layoffs, part of a broader restructuring, affect communications, operations, community education, and farmer programs, though reductions were minimized in these areas to protect core work. flag MOFGA called the move a last resort after federal grants were frozen, canceled, or delayed. flag The organization, which hosts the Common Ground Fair, said the changes are necessary for long-term financial stability and is working with its union on procedures. flag It may recall staff if funding improves and remains committed to supporting farmers amid ongoing challenges like climate change and past crises.
