STANDISH, MAINE | Students from all over the world got a hands-on look at Maine farming on Wednesday.

St. Joseph's college opened up the Pearson Town Farm to campers from Seeds of Peace to explain how the farm sustains itself and people in the town. Seeds of Peace is a camp that brings together young people from the Middle East, Europe, And Asia, as well as here in Maine to help them bridge cultural differences.

At the farm, they learned how it helps people less fortunate by donating fresh produce to the Catherine Cupboard Food Pantry. From the farm, the students went on to the Catherine Cupboard Food Pantry to help hand out some of the produce grown at the farm.
