Drummond Woodsum

The threat of rain may have forced us to reschedule our date with Portland Trails yesterday, but it didn't stop Drummond Woodsum volunteers from visiting Families in Transition to help clean some of the organization's transitional apartments.

This great Manchester nonprofit offers a suite of housing and other support services to help break the cycle of homelessness. It was an honor to support their mission during what has been another amazing Community Service Week!

Day 2 of Drummond Woodum's Community Service Week is in the books!

On Tuesday morning, volunteers processed 50 pounds of produce at the Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program in Brunswick, which last year served more than a million meals to Mainers through its soup kitchen and food pantry programs. In the afternoon, another group helped the team at Partners for World Health clean and sort surplus medical supplies that will support health care efforts around the globe.

Watch out for more updates through the rest of the week as our attorneys and staff continue volunteering at great organizations like these!

The event kicked off Monday morning at Maine Needs, where our volunteers organized donations and assembled care packages for individuals and families across the state of Maine. Another Drummond Woodsum group spent the afternoon packing boxes at New Hampshire Food Bankto combat food insecurity.

Our team is proud to help great organizations like these serve their communities. Stay tuned for more updates!

We are proud to support this project! Drummond Woodsum attorneys Stacey Caulk and Laura Hartz worked to help secure the farming future of this property.

Welcome to the newest Forever Farm in our network – and join us in celebrating what's next for the Morris Farm! On April 10th, Chris and Terry Baldwin purchased the Morris Farm from Maine Farmland Trust and together, we protected the property with an agricultural conservation easement, securing the farming future of the iconic Wiscasset property forever. This outcome was backed by an outpouring of community support from many individuals and families, partner organizations, foundations, impact investors, and volunteers. Thank you to all who helped ensure this local landmark remains an agricultural resource in the community.

Along with their daughter and son-in-law Lindsay and Ryan Esbjerg, the Baldwins plan to establish The Commons at Morris Farm. Through a mix of traditional farming, innovative programs, and a growing retail platform, they envision the farm as a shared resource for the region. A central component will be the farmstand and retail platform, expanding market access for producers and strengthening community connection to local food.

“The name ‘The Commons’ reflects how we think about the farm – as a shared resource. Morris Farm has always been an important part of this community. We’re focused on honoring that history while building something that ensures the land remains active, accessible, and relevant for years to come.” – Chris and Terry Baldwin
