More than 150 farms throughout the State of Maine join in this one-day celebration of agriculture and farming. Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village is among the oldest farms in Maine still operated under the same management, since 1783. See Scottish highland cattle, a flock of more than 70 sheep, bees, barn cats, apple orchards, herb gardens, and vegetable gardens.
Featured activities of the day include guided tours of the 1830 barns with Brother Arnold, guided tours of the Herb House project progress, tractor-drawn wagon rides, honey bee display and hives, tours of the Shakers’ historic herb gardens, Food Trucks, and traditional craft demonstrations and vendors to be announced as we get closer.  This is a GIANT family fun and free event- be sure to add it to your calendar!
