Urban Agriculture Fair 2015
2015-09-27 10:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York)
It’s Fair time! The Urban Agriculture Fair returns to the Loring Greenough House (12 South Street, JP), on Sunday, 9/27, from 10am to 2pm, for another four hours of family fun and games, demonstrations, contests, and displays. Make apple cider (fresh and ‘hard’), watch bees tend their hive, pat a chicken, toss eggs, win prizes, and much more! And if you have garden goodies, kitchen concoctions, baked beauties, and other homemade/homegrown creations, enter them at the Judging Table for a chance to win swag, bragging rights, and ribbons (including the coveted “Pomme d’Or” gold ribbon)!

Beekeepers, bring along your smokers. The second annual Smoker Stoker contest is sure to be a nail-biter. If you can keep your smoker lit longer and stronger than anyone else, you take home a beautiful new Maxant (‘made in Mass’) hive tool!
For more information, see the Ag Hall website.
