Granby Agricultural Commission readies September Open Farm Day, plans library exhibit

The Granby Agricultural Commission discussed logistics for its September 2026 Open Farm Day at the July 8 meeting, including tracking RSVPs from participating farms, contacting farms that had not yet responded, and preparing postcards and signs for printing and distribution.

Commission members said they are on track for a successful event and anticipate adding new farms to the event map this year. The commission also agreed to a monthlong agricultural display at the Granby Public Library to highlight local farming heritage and the town’s farming community in August.

Members received correspondence from the Town of Granby Conservation Committee about soil-testing standards for town-owned agricultural properties; the commission recorded the communication for follow-up. The commission set its next regular meeting for Aug. 12, 2026.

The meeting opened at 7:12 p.m. and adjourned at 8:22 p.m.
