The entire www.getrealmaine.com web site has a new look and a couple of new features! First of all, The Maine Food and Farms Resource Guide, published last year in book and CD form is now on-line and searchable. You can now find all kinds of groups, organizations, state or local agencies, books, other publications, web sites, and all kinds of resources of interest to producers and others interested in the business of agriculture. Addresses, phone numbers, contact people, e-mail and other information is just a few clicks away. To get started you will probably want to review the instructions at www.getrealmaine.com/connect/searching.html. |
Another new section, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), links directly to the resource guide search pages. If you aren't sure what you are looking for, visit the FAQ pages, select a category and get answers and explanations which will then guide you to more detailed information contained in the resource guide pages. To read about how to search the FAQs, you will want to go to www.getrealmaine.com/learn/howtosearch.html.
The site is now grouped into four "virtual" sections each with a color-coded look and an abbreviated name: "BUY" (where to buy food and farm products), "VISIT" (farms, food and agricultural events and activities that occur throughout the year), "LEARN" (where you will find facts and information about agriculture and agricultural products), "CONNECT" (a kind of producer-to-consumer connecting area which also houses the new resource guide). You can click on one of these tab headings and go directly to that section. The left-hand navigation bars will change according to the specific section. We have also added a site map (www.getrealmaine.com/sitemap.html) to help you view all on one page what kind of information is available on this site. You can go there if you get lost. Let us know what you think.
