East Forty Farm showcases how high-quality forage directly transforms into premium farm products. Here\, rotational grazing supports a specialized ecosystem: milk from the dairy herd is crafted into award-winning Lakin’s Gorges Cheese\, heritage-breed pigs are raised on a specialized whey diet from the cheesemaking process and 100% grass-fed beef is ethically produced. \nParticipants will walk the pastures with Extension Forage Educator Jaime Garzon to examine how forage quality and specific plant species influence milk flavor and cheese production. The owners will be on hand to answer questions about the logistics of building an on-farm creamery\, managing swine on pasture without degrading the soil and marketing grass-fed products directly to º£½ÇÉçÇø consumers. \nThe º£½ÇÉçÇø Pasture Walk Series is free and open to all\, including both beginner and experienced farmers. To register\, visit the event webpage. For additional event details or to request a reasonable accommodation\, contact Melissa Libby Babcock at 207.581.2788 or melissa.libby1@maine.edu. Additional stops in the Pasture Walk Series include Bethel on July 22 and Leeds on August 14. Full details are available on the series webpage.

This program beautifully illustrates basic concepts like moon phases and seasons. Based on the trickster of Native American lore\, Coyote is constantly corrected in his misunderstandings of how things work.

With the help of modern technology\, the idea of a show combining breath-taking views of the solar system and beyond\, played out to 42 minutes of The Dark Side Of The Moon in surround sound\, has been embraced by the band. NSC Creative have led the visual production efforts\, working closely with Pink Floyd’s long time creative collaborator Aubrey Powell from Hipgnosis. \nEach song has a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd’s visual history\, all relating to a time and space experience\, embracing up to the minute technology that only a Planetarium can offer. A truly immersive and all-encompassing surround sound and visual treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of 2D experience. \nTickets are $11 for general admission. \nMusic programs may contain explicit lyrics\, and are intended for adult audiences. All music programs may contain bright flashing lights and fast-moving images\, which have been known to trigger seizures with those with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised. \nTickets may be purchased online\, by phone at 207.581.1341\, or at our ticket box office prior to the show.
