Celebrating Agriculture Day is a fun, free event for the whole family that showcases the benefits agriculture provides to the region and connects consumers with producers of local agricultural products. This year we will have samples of our locally grown wood flooring on display, as well as info about our woodland management services, and will be helping to support the Log A Load for Kids Campaign, a program of the Southern New England Regional Game of Logging Competition, which helps raise funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospital. We hope you can join us and watch the logging competition, too. Free admission, free parking, and open to the public!
