The LRN serves as a network that encourages community connections and self-sufficiency through the exchange of locally produced goods, knowledge, and services.
The LRN network is committed to organizing:

Discussion sessions, potlucks and workshops bring people and ideas together:
Discussion Sessions
… to share ideas about what we can do locally
Potluck Suppers
… to strengthen the bonds of friendship in Corinth and Topsham and surrounding communities. We’ve hosted quite a few potlucks since 2007. The suppers have often included programs related to a variety of topics, including local food resources, energy issues and global warming. Suppers are usually held at the Corinth Town Hall or the East Corinth Congregational Church.

greenhouse construction
root cellars
food preservation
chicken raising
sauerkraut making
canning
caring for chickens in winter
