"Celebrating Agriculture"
The 11th Annual Celebrating Agriculture is set for Saturday, Sept. 24, Woodstock Fairgrounds, Route 169, Woodstock Conn.
Free admission and free parking. Rain or shine.
Celebrating Agriculture started in 2001 as part of an effort to promote community education and participation in agriculture, as well as to support consumer purchasing of local farm products. Each year, the goal is to welcome more people to learn who their farm neighbors are, and how to support local agriculture to enrich and maintain the open space - the working landscape - of the quiet corner of Connecticut.
Woodstock, as the host of this event, exemplifies a town working with its agricultural industry to maintain agriculture as an integral part of both its economic and environmental future.
Volunteers are welcome.
For more information and specific tasks still needed contact Abigail Cadman, volunteer coordinator at (860) 774-8397, extension 100.
