The 2025 Monadnock Grown Farm Tour invites community members and visitors alike to explore the diverse landscape of New Hampshire agriculture on Aug. 16 from noon – 5 p.m. For just $10/car, attendees will gain access to multiple farms across the Monadnock Region, with proceeds supporting next year’s tour and continued community food system programming.
This self-guided event offers a unique opportunity to meet the farmers who steward our land and produce our food while gaining firsthand insight into the role local farms play in sustaining our economy, preserving open space and enriching our quality of life.
“This is more than just a day out on the farm – it’s a chance to connect with the people and practices that sustain our local food system,” said Roe-Ann Tasoulas, executive director of MFCC. “Each farm reflects the diversity and dedication of our agricultural community, and we’re thrilled to welcome visitors into that experience.”
