Delicious Cheese Events

Plan Your Trip to Maine… Around Cheese

If you love fresh from the farm food, there are many yearly events to tickle your tastebuds.

See how many farms you can visit on Open Creamery Day 􏱥(always the Sunday of Indigenous Peoples􏱦 Day weekend in October), make a trip to the Maine Cheese Festival (usually in September), or participate in Maine Open Farm Day (the fourth Sunday in July). All excellent ways to connect with the farmers and animals who help keep the local food scene thriving! Or head to one of the Maine Agricultural Fairs across the state in the summer and fall.
