Open Farm Day is an annual family adventure in which farms throughout
all 16 counties open their gates to offer the public an opportunity to
learn about the business of agriculture. Open Farm Day gives families
the chance to visit local farms throughout the state.
Farms around the state participate to commit to ensuring the
sustainability of agriculture. Maine’s farming industry has given back
to their communities by providing a forum for education and learning in a
fun atmosphere. Many farms will have demonstrations, displays,
farm-raised products for sale and animals and crops to experience.
Activities include barn and field tours, milking, hay rides, petting
zoos, nature trails, beautiful scenery, samples for tasting and
refreshments.
