Teen Ag Crew donates pumpkins

Joseph Hufnagel, Director of The Landing Place, holds up one of 30 pumpkins to be delivered to local families in need this fall. The pumpkins are a donation from Maine Coast Heritage Trust’s Teen Ag Crew at Erickson Fields Preserve in Rockport. Their 4-acre garden annually supplies thousands of pounds of produce to eight Midcoast pantries, school lunches, a retirement home, and local businesses. This year, the Teen Ag Crew’s harvest is projected to top 20,000 pounds.
