Today, Maine is recognized nationally as a leader in organic farming with hundreds of farms and a robust year-round farmers’ market scene.

Every year, the Common Ground Country Fair brings this organic vision to life, creating a unique space where people gather to exchange ideas, learn new skills, and build momentum for lasting change. As we celebrate our 50th annual Fair this year, we are reminded of the incredible power of a community united by shared values.

Your support allows MOFGA to continue this vital work. Make a donation now.

Do you have photos from your time at the Fair… before there were cell phones? Before coffee was allowed? Back when you had to load a canister of film into your camera?

To help us document and celebrate 50 years of the Common Ground Country Fair, we are collecting archival photos of the Fair! Help us out by digitizing your photos and sending them to [email protected] with the subject: Old Fair Photos.
