 Join Us!

We invite you to take time out of your hectic growing season to see another farm in operation. Twilight Meetings provide an opportunity to learn from and socialize with your peers during the production season. Whatever you grow, there's something of interest here for you. The new ideas you gather from each other will more than pay for the few hours spent away from the farm!

The farms listed in this brochure open their barn doors and welcome you to join them for a relaxed farm tour, a discussion about their production practices, and highlights on how they are successfully direct marketing their farm products. These farms feature vegetables, berries, cut flowers, greenhouses, and livestock, "value-added" products and agri-tourism. Keep up-to-date on solutions to production and marketing challenges with UMass Extension, the Mass. Department of Agricultural Resources, and the Massachusetts Association of Roadside Stands.

Who attends?
Farmers, UMass Extension professionals, Department of  Agricultural Resource specialists, State senators & representatives, students, media, and really anyone interested in agriculture!

Refreshments will be offered at each meeting.

All Meetings Held Rain or Shine!
