Open Farm Day, on July 28 this year is a special day to explore the variety of agriculture across Maine.
- Most farms are open Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., but not all. Some are open Saturday too, or have different start and end times.
- You can double-check the schedule by looking at the local listings, for example, the Real Maine Event calendar or the farm’s social media, or even call the farm. Some have a recorded message to share updates or changes.
- Help keep farms healthy — stay home if sick or not feeling well .
- Follow farm rules. Stay in visitor areas. Keep pets at home.
- Bring an insulated container when you shop: Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot for quality and freshness.
- Always clean fresh produce before eating and preparing.
- Plan to carry out any trash and recyclables.
- Use good hygiene before, during, and after visit.
- Stick to established trails & roads and avoid tailgating farm machinery.
- Be weather wise, dress appropriately and know your personal limits (the event is held rain or shine).
