We celebrate Maine agriculture year-round, and Open Farm Day is an extra special day to visit a farm and discover more ways to enjoy farm products year-round! Maine's Open Farm Day gives visitors the chance to explore host farms throughout the state on the fourth Sunday in July rain or shine. As the date gets closer we will add the participating Aroostook County farms you may tour to this listing:
Maine's Open Farm Day is a statewide event started by Maine farmers and supporters in 1989. For more than 30 years, this premier agritourism event has been a way to raise awareness about farms and their importance to Maine. It is an opportunity to connect visitors to Maine farms so they may learn and see firsthand the care and effort to produce quality Maine farm products and ingredients year-round. Each site is different and offers visitors a chance to meet farmers and learn more about the role of farms across Maine. Experience farm tours, live demos, and meet the hardworking farmers behind your food, flowers, fiber, and other farm products. It's free, family-friendly, and rain or shine! It’s free, family-friendly, and a great way to connect with Maine’s farming community. See you there! 🌻🐄🌽 Show us your visit with #RealMaine #OpenFarmDay #VisitAroostook
