In its 44th year, the New Hampshire Farm, Forest & Garden Expo remains a beloved gathering place where generations come together to learn, celebrate, and explore. This two-day event brings our agricultural traditions to life—past, present, and future—through hands-on demonstrations, workshops, and inspiring exhibits. Where else can you take a horse-drawn wagon ride, learn how to start beekeeping, climb into the latest compact farm equipment, or discover new ways to steward your land for long-term conservation?

Whether you’re here to cheer on the timber competition, enjoy live music, savor maple cotton candy, or watch your children light up as they pet animals and dig into hands-on activities, the Expo has something for everyone. Curious about homesteading, self-reliance, and practical skills? You’ll find classes from UNH Extension, conversations with conservation organizations, demonstrations in amateur radio, and even solar solutions for your property needs.

There’s no other place like it—an all-in-one celebration of expertise, innovation, and camaraderie—happening May 1st & 2nd at the Deerfield Fairgrounds. Come be part of the evolving traditions that make the New Hampshire Farm, Forest & Garden Expo a must-see annual event.
