50 Years of Common Ground

The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) is celebrating the 50th annual Common Ground Country Fair this year with a number of events, including a poster exhibition titled 50 Years of Common Ground, which will be exhibited at Waterville Creates’ Ticonic Gallery + Studios September 4–30.
For five decades, the fair has been more than an annual event. It has been a gathering place rooted in organic agriculture, food justice, environmental stewardship, and the belief that communities can shape healthier futures together. The fair’s posters are among the most visible and enduring expressions of that collaborative work. Seen together, they offer a visual and cultural history of Maine’s organic movement and the shared values that have guided it.
As environmental concerns have intensified and new generations join the movement, the posters remain grounded in a consistent vision of sustainable living through organic agriculture. Many of the artists who design these posters are farmers, activists, or craftspeople, and are deeply connected to the wider MOFGA community.
The 50th annual fair will be held September 25–27 in Unity, Maine. Visit mofga.org/the-fair for more information.
