CLINTON — Maine Farm Days will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 21 and 22, at the Misty Meadow Farm.
Maine Farm Days is an agricultural trade show held on a working farm. It’s open to the public and admission is free and gives people a chance to see where their food comes from. For instance, the 700 milk cows at 1,000-acre Misty Meadow Farm produce 10 gallons of milk each day. That milk can be be used to produce more than 3,000 pounds of cheese daily.
Farm Days Inc. joins the host families, John and Belinda Stoughton and Tom and Kimberly Wright in addition to others in order to sponsor the event, also incudes vendors and exhibits. The Stoughton family opens their farm up to the public but they do not stop farming, so those attending have a chance to see how it works.
There will also be baking contests, a children’s tent, prize drawings, classes about pesticides and pests, vendors displaying equipment and products in addition to many people and groups in attendance set up to answer questions. There are two large tents for vendors and one devoted as a children’s tent. Other tents for workshops.
Misty Meadows Farm is on Hill Road. Visit www.MaineFarmDays.com for more information, or find it on Facebook.
