The Somali Bantu Community Association of Maine is a farming-focused organization based in Lewiston, Maine, that supports members of the refugee community through transitional services, advocacy, and programming aimed at sustaining cultural identity while helping them adapt to life in the area. Its Community Farming Program, Liberation Farms, works to provide new American farmers with access to resources aligned with their cultural needs to enable sustainable food production for themselves, their families, and their communities. The organization serves a refugee population within the farming sector, addressing barriers to entry and ongoing livelihoods in agriculture. It operates from Lewiston and has a regional focus on supporting Somali Bantu communities in Maine, with a recent emphasis reflected in partnerships and recognition related to food sovereignty efforts. A notable development includes collaboration with Agrarian Trust to secure agricultural land in Wales, Maine, illustrating its approach to expanding access to land and farming opportunities for its members.
