Maine Open Farm Day

July 23, 2023

Open Farm Day across the State of Maine

It’s not every day you get to see where food is grown, how yarn is made, or get to meet the caretakers of Maine farm animals and wildlife.

But thanks to the annual tradition of Maine Open Farm Day, you have a unique chance to do that and learn about the business of agriculture where it happens!

Maine Open Farm Day is an annual celebration held across the state. It is an open-house style event during which host farms extend an invite to the public. This allows you to learn more about their business and what they do. Each farm visit is different, and depending on your visit, you can experience the variety of agriculture on display. For example, at diversified produce farms, you may see rows of crops, such as vegetables and fruits, at different stages of readiness for harvest. Depending on the set up, you can even DIY or “PYO” (pick your own) at some host farms.

You may also get to see working landscapes, home to a variety of wildlife, managed woodlots and farm animals. You’ll find host farms offering tours, and farmer meet-and-greets. Some farms highlight their educational experiences and trails for the public to explore. There are even farms that offer products to purchase, and share recipes or techniques to best enjoy your purchase.

WE OFFER TIPS TO GET YOU READY FOR THIS SUMMER TRADITION, AND FIND A FARM TO VISIT!

Farms may update details and activities as the event date nears. Find more as participating farms publish their information on the Real Maine event calendar.  Check local listings before you head out.
