School Resources
Here at MOFGA, we love welcoming learners of all ages to our grounds and to our programs. If you are a teacher or a student, some of the following programs might be of interest to you:
School Groups at the Fair
We welcome school groups to join us for free at the annual Common Ground Country Fair! To qualify, all you need to do is attend the Fair on Friday and enter through the School Gate, located at the North entrance of the Fair.
While you’re here, perhaps you would like to submit some produce from your school garden in the Exhibition Hall, check out the Young Maine area, and of course explore the many dynamic areas of the Fair.

Want to visit MOFGA outside of the Fair? Your class might be interested in a field trip to the Maine Heritage Orchard.
