We invite you to join us in walking from farm to farm in our agricultural pocket of Springvale during the weekend of July 27 and July 28 to celebrate Maine Open Farm Day.The Springvale Farm Walk is a self-guided walk between farms linked by mowed paths and gravel trails. The 10 different farms along the route raise sheep, orchard fruit, vegetables, herbs, berries and more. This year the theme of the walk is “Birds and their Habitats.” Each farm will provide a collectible bird identification card and may have refreshments or additional farm items for sale.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. There is no single starting time or place. Parking is available at multiple farms and there are bathrooms and port-a-johns along the route. The paths are well-marked and kid friendly. Sturdy shoes and dressing according to the weather forecast are recommended. Mountain bikers, runners, and dogs on leashes are also welcome.
A barn contra dance featuring live band Stomp Rocket and caller Alyssa Adkins will go from 6-8pm on Saturday evening, July 27th at McDougal Orchards (ticketed event). Also, a birdwalk guided by York County Audubon is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. on Sunday, July 28th at McDougal Orchards.
