For those who braved mud or ice to stroll the slopes at Round Top Farm this winter, they may have spotted something shiny and new in the southwest field behind Darrows Barn.
Newcastle resident Arlene Cole has been recording the temperature in Lincoln County for over 70 years, long before climate change was a household term.
For six years, Twin Villages Food Bank Farm (TVFF) has been growing fresh produce to donate to food pantries and youth programs across Lincoln County. From the beginning, Great Salt Bay Community School (GSB) and FARMS at the Y have worked closely.

In its fifth growing season, Twin Villages Foodbank Farm (TVFF) grew, collected, and distributed over 75,000 pounds of fresh food to Lincoln County food pantries and youth programs. Strong support from the community has made it possible for the farm to more than double its annual production since its first season in 2016.
TVFF’s mission is to grow and distribute healthy food for those who need it most in Lincoln County. The farm serves food pantries in Boothbay, Damariscotta/Newcastle, Jefferson, New Harbor, Waldoboro, Whitefield, and Wiscasset, and youth food programs like FARMS at the YMCA.
