Habibo Noor, center, hoes Monday morning as Bates College first year students Katherine Hansen, left, and Nick Danko weed a row of carrots at New Roots Cooperative Farm on outer College Street in Lewiston. The 30-acre farm is owned and operated by six families, most Somali-born, with many having lived here for a decade. They graduated from the Cultivating Community’s farmer training program that teaches best business practices and other important aspects of operating a farm in Maine. Over a dozen first year students volunteered to spend the day with the local farmers doing community service on Labor Day. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal
