Sam co-runs Radical Roots, an organic fruit farm and plant nursery in mid-coast Maine. The Radical Roots team works hard to improve the health of the soil, preserve the genetic diversity of dozens of hardy, heirloom fruit varieties, and propagate plants that are native to the Northeast region. The grant funding will be used to buy tools and materials to expand our orchard and perennial production, implement organic fertility strategies, and build birdhouses and bat houses to increase pollination.
