The Durham, NH Agricultural Commission's 5th annual Farm Day Video

Please join DCAT 22 Volunteer, Phil Kincade on a video tour of Durham Farm Day!

The town’s farming community and its many local supporters came together Saturday, August 19th for Durham Farm Day.

Created five years ago by the Durham’s Agricultural Commission, celebrates Durham’s farming history and its active farms. It also highlights farming and forestry research conducted locally by the University of New Hampshire and U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“The goal is to promote access to locally produced food and agricultural products in town by opening up those facilities to the general public so people become more aware of what is happening from a farming perspective,” Theresa Walker, who chairs the Agricultural Committee, said Tuesday.

The 2017 event featured 11 stops throughout town, with events spread through the day to encourage people to visit multiple venues. Following the town’s designation as a Bee City USA community this spring, the event’s theme is on bees and pollinators.
