Community Ag Day at the Guilford Fairgrounds — May 30, 2026

On Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 10am to 2pm, the Guilford Agricultural Society will host the annual Community “Ag Day” on the Guilford Fairgrounds to celebrate Guilford’s agricultural heritage, and to promote and encourage agricultural education.

The event will include a number of 4H groups from New Haven and Middlesex counties, as well as FFA (Future Farmers of America) schools, including the Sound School for agriculture in New Haven, which is a prominent provider of education in agriculture to many communities without access to local farming. The UConn Environmental Agriculture Department will participate, as well as the Shellfish Commission, the New Haven County Farm Bureau and the Department of Agriculture. There will be educational displays and activities in animal husbandry, bee pollination, maple syrup production, and a pedal tractor pull and agricultural “equipment touch” for kids.

The displays and activities will highlight Connecticut’s agricultural heritage, and the mission of the Guilford Agricultural Society to promote sustainable agriculture, with participatory activities for adults and children. The Farm Museum on the Fairgrounds will be open to view antique farm equipment, with interactive exhibits.

There will be a Farmers Market with local produce for sale, food trucks, ice cream trucks, farm games, cows, sheep and goats, “Touch a Cow,” and much more.

Come and enjoy the Guilford Fairgrounds and learn to have fun with agriculture at this free community event.
