We look forward to seeing you at the Deerfield Fairgrounds May 3rd & 4th, 2024!

 Our recent move to the Deerfield Fairgrounds allowed the Expo to continue our tradition in providing quality educational sessions, promotion of preservation and opportunity for local commerce in all areas of Farming, Gardening and Forestry. This move also allowed the Expo to grow in outside spaces where we can incorporate running farm machinery, more barnyard animals and much much more!

This outstanding family friendly Expo that has something for all ages!
