Over the past 10 years, the Buckle Farm in Unity, Maine has grown from a scrappy start-up to a thriving diversified vegetable business that feeds everyone, from food pantries to farm-to-table restaurants. Hear farmers Jim Buckle and Hannah Hamilton describe the challenges farmers are up against, how they've grown their farm's success with support from a host of Maine Farmland Trust programs along the way, and reflect on what it takes to grow resilience over the long haul.
