Shops Maine Farms Welcome Visitors on Open Farm Day Maine’s Open Farm Day is a chance to see what working farms are all about. Every summer on the fourth Sunday in July, more than 100 farms throughout the state open their barns and gates to give the public a chance to see where their food and fiber comes from. This year Open Farm Day is on July 23. Many activities and demonstrations are planned by the farmers to show what their agricultural lives Stone Soup Artisans are like. There will be opportunities to pet farm animals, pick berries, tour a barn, go on a hayride, see A Maine Artist Shop & Gallery how fiber is processed and sample farm-made and raised specialty foods. Farms in York County that are participating in Open Farm Day are described on pages 14 and 15. Pottery, Decorative Glass, Fine Art, Jewelry, Handbags, Scarves, Toys, Pet Items and Specialty Foods.

The Spirit of Massachusetts is a 125-foot schooner built right here in New England at the Charlestown NavalShipyard. Her launch in 1984 was celebrated in Boston Harbor with a tallship festival that welcomed over 80 tall ships from all over the world. After her launch she served as a goodwill ambassador for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts while sailing the globe as an educational vessel. In 2014 The Spirit of Massachusetts was restored and brought to her new home in Kennebunk, ME.
