Visit Downeast Restorative Harvest for Open Farm Day, Sunday, July 27

Maine's Open Farm Day is a statewide event to raise awareness about farms and their importance to Maine. Visitors are invited to explore host farms and connect with participating farmers throughout the state, learn about their work, and check out the products and services they offer. 

Join us on Sunday, July 27, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Downeast Restorative Harvest Community DERH Community Farm, located at 73 Broadway, Machias. See what's growing, meet the team, and learn how this collaborative project with Healthy Acadia, the Washington County Jail, and other local partners is growing food and building connections in Washington County.

Learn how to become a Friend of the Farm, or just hang out and enjoy the day! More details coming soon.
