The Monadnock Grown Coalition has announced the return of the annual Monadnock Grown Farm Tour, which will take place from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15.

The self-guided tour allows residents and visitors to explore the region’s agricultural community and connect with local producers. For $10 per vehicle, attendees receive access to all participating farms, where they can meet farmers, learn about local food production, view demonstrations, and purchase locally produced goods.

Farm Family Insurance is the presenting sponsor for the 2026 tour. Emmalee Bauckman of Farm Family Insurance noted her personal connection to the industry, stating she is “grateful for the opportunity to support the farmers who contribute so much to our local community.”

Proceeds from ticket sales will go toward funding the 2027 tour. For more information regarding participating farms, tickets, or volunteer opportunities, visit the event website at 26MGFarmTour.eventbrite.com.
