This year’s NH Eat Local Month is featuring a Passport to Local Farms Weekend, August 28–29:

Passport to Local Farms is a statewide open house on almost 60 participating farms. The event is interactive and invites visitors to obtain an official “passport” to collect stamps at each farm they visit during that weekend. Those who collect four or more stamps are eligible to submit their passports for a prize drawing in September. Drawing details are on the Passport game card.

Download your Passport and list of participating farms below and begin planning your farm visit weekend!

Passport game card and list of participating farms, including the Barrington Natural Heritage Agriculture Fair at Warren Farm, are available online.
