The workers who travel from Mexico, Central America, Caribbean nations and Canada play a key role in keeping Maine-grown food on the supper tables at a reasonable cost.

Their unsung role is documented and celebrated in an exhibit which itself will migrate from Augusta to Boston and back to Maine in the weeks ahead. Its final tour will be in areas where migrants will toil during the next harvest season. The list of stops is being finalized.”*
