The Morris Farm Trust in Wiscasset will join farms across the state opening their doors to the public to celebrate the 23rd annual Open Farm Day.

Open Farm Day is an opportunity to see firsthand where your food is coming from and in Maine, that means a lot.

“Share in the pride of Maine farmers as they show you how they grow their food,” Maine Commissioner of Agriculture Walter Whitcomb said. “Buying local really does wonders for our community. It’s one thing to tell your children that food doesn’t grow on the supermarket shelf; it’s another to see it, touch it, and feel it firsthand.”

The Morris Farm will have master gardeners on hand in the Demonstration Garden to answer questions and volunteers available to give farm and garden tours in the Margaret Ellis Community Garden and the Wiscasset Primary School Garden.

Tenant farmers Alan-Dee Dairy will hold a goat milking demonstration at 10 a.m. and a cow milking demonstration at noon. Cheese making and tasting will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
