MEET YOUR LOCAL
FARMER - AT THE FAIR
The Fair will again showcase local farmers in the Meet Your Local Farmer building, near the large animal barn. Each farm family will discuss their agricultural lifestyle and what is involved in raising, producing and bringing products to market. They may have
items for sale.
Due to the demanding nature of running an agriculturally based business, times and farmers are subject to change. The Fair is proud to promote our local farmers and educate the public, especially our children, about where food comes from and how
much eff ort is required to produce it.
On Saturday, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, Libby Maple Farm will talk about their forest and their maple trees and their delicious products. And their business involves a lot more than trees - come talk to them.
Also on Saturday, Blake Smith will speak from 1pm - 5pm about Windyknoll Farm, one of the main potato growers in Maine. The farm also includes grains in their crop rotation. He will talk about how potatoes are grown in order to be turned into potato
chips.
Additionally, from Saturday to Monday, Magoon’s Willow Lane Farm will have an area beside the building where you can come meet Skye. They are a family owned and operated farm specializing in free-range, grass-fed registered Scottish Highland cattle for both breeding stock and beef.
On Sunday, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, we will feature Hutchinson Homestead, a family-run farm in Canaan, Maine where they are raising their four children with a love of farming. They all work together to raise Katahdin sheep, hay the fields, tend to a
large vegetable garden, raise Freedom Rangers and laying hens.....with more animals to come! They run a home-based sourdough bakery and farm stand as well as a Youtube channel for their homesteading, homeschooling, homemade lifestyle. Through
their videos, hay, livestock, produce and baked goods, they share their journey and bring a little piece of their homestead to others.
On Sunday from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Hazelnut Hill Farm, a small, diversified farm in Milo, Maine will speak about their farm. They are focused on growing vegetables for market and expanding their flock of Katahdin sheep.
