Below are some map links that may help you determine where you would like to farm in Maine. Included here are a county map and a population map.
If you become interested in a particular farm, be sure to obtain the soil maps of the area. If the farmer does not have a copy of his/her maps, contact the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) to get this information: http://soils.usda.gov/survey/printed_surveys/state.asp?state=Maine&abbr=ME
Cooperative Extension’s plant hardiness zone map: http://www.umext.maine.edu/onlinepubs/htmpubs/2242.htm
There are many other maps at the MEGIS site http://megis.maine.gov/maps, and through NRCS.
