 Go Organic! Minimize

Did you know...

...it takes roughly one-third of a pound of chemicals (pesticides and fertilizers) to grow enough cotton for just one t-shirt?

Organic isn't just for food! Use these resources to find out more:

Welcome to the Crafts Area of the Common Ground Country Fair!

The 2009 Crafts Area application process is closed.

 
 
The purposes of this area are:

  • to contribute to the quality of rural life for Maine craftspeople by giving them a place to sell their work, and
  • to to encourage craftspeople to use Maine resources in ways creatively compatible with the goals and objectives of MOFGA. All of the beautiful items for sale in the Crafts tents are hand-made here in Maine by some of the state's most talented artisans.

The Crafts Area is open to the individual craftsperson who resides in Maine and who makes high-quality work that is original in design and concept. We especially seek crafts that use non-polluting, organic materials and processes.


Remember - the Crafts Area is open to residents of Maine only.

A link to the 2009 Crafts Area Application is posted below for your reference.

If you use cotton in your craft, MOFGA strongly encourages you to consider going organic! While this is not a requirement for participation in the Crafts Area, using organic cotton to the greatest extent possible will strengthen your application. Please refer to the sidebar for interesting information about the ecological, social and economic benefits of organic cotton. Thanks!
