Manitoba Association of Agricultural Societies (MAAS) wants your farm or agriculture site to be part of the seventh annual Open Farm Day. 

The MAAS mandate is to promote the agricultural industry in Manitoba. Open Farm Day is an opportunity for Manitobans to meet local farmers and tour a number of agriculture sites and venues and learn more about Manitoba’s diverse agriculture industry.  It’s also a chance for farmers interested in direct marketing to connect with new customers. 

“This year, we want your farm along with your agriculture knowledge to aid us in connecting the farm to our food. Plan to be part of that connection by signing up for Open Farm Day, set for Sunday, Sept. 18,” stated Annette Young, MAAS Chairperson.

Last year, the 37 farm operations that participated in Open Farm Day provided an outstanding agriculture awareness educational opportunity. 6,500 rural and urban Manitobans attended Open Farm Day 2015. 

MAAS is encouraging farms/ag organizations to sign up to be an Open Farm Day Host by Saturday, Apr. 30.  For further information, go to www.openfarmday.ca and click on Register Farm.
