Open Farm Day Registration

June 4, 2019 Announcements

We celebrate 30 years of Open Farm Day on July 28, 2019.

Thanks to many of you, 2018 was the highest participation rate in recent years. I hope we can register and promote more farms in 2019; thanks to all of you who completed registration for 2019! We have a good response to date, and I want to make sure folks receive registration information before spring arrives.

In case you didn’t receive the notice sent earlier last month via GovDelivery [Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry DACF@subscriptions.maine.gov ].

Register online.

The deadline to register is May 1, 2019. This gives us time to plan and prepare the print insert—The Open Farm Day Passport, and send out posters.

A few items to note for 2019:

  • Returning participants can opt to keep information the same as last year (only dates will change). –Implemented from participant feedback.
  • Registrants can select the quantity of posters to receive from the Department. –Implemented from participant feedback.
  • Have you heard about the media training that UMaine Cooperative Extension will offer in April? It is part of their leadership development programming. Sign up online.
  • View more resources on the Department’s Open Farm Day webpage.
