Grain to Glass: Community Farm Day

Inman Farm Freeport

Join the MGA and special guests Tom Molloy of UMaine Cooperative Extension, Joel Alex of Blue Ox Malthouse, and Richard Roberts of MGA Seed Restoration for a day dedicated to brewing and local grains. In addition to educational sessions and a tour of Inman Farm’s barley plots and harvesting tools, the MGA will be firing Maine Craft Pizza in our mobile oven alongside fresh pressed apple cider for purchase. The MGA will arrange transport for attendees to and from the farm, as there is very limited parking at the farm. We will continue the shuttle service from the Farm House to Park & Ride (1), Park & Ride (2) and Shaw’s parking lot returning to the Farm House about every 15 minutes until 3pm. Join us on November 4th, and be sure to RSVP here: https://kneadingconference.com/grain-to-glass-freeport/ Rain date November 5th.
