University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development Program is offering its next 4-H Fridays on the Farm from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday, July 22, at Morning Glory Farm at 343 Flat Road in Bethel, according to a news release from the Oxford County Extension office in South Paris.

Learn about daily life on a farm, career paths related to farming and agriculture, including making and selling hot sauce, and do some hands-on farm learning with Christine Trefethen and her summer World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms workers all on a farm nestled beneath the western Maine mountains.

The farm staff will even provide a wood fired pizza lunch.

To register, visit by Tuesday, July 12, visit extension.umaine.edu.

Current 4-H enrollment is not necessary for participation. Program materials and instruction are free.

The goal of 4-H Fridays on the Farm is to expose teens to Maine agriculture and create workforce development skills through a variety of different hands-on, farm visits throughout the state. Teens can join for one week or more to experience what different farms across the state have to offer. Each session will include an opportunity for teens to take a tour of operations, gain hands-on experience, and consider their role in the Maine Food System.

4-H Fridays on the Farm is the first educational offering in a series developed by the Maine 4-H Agricultural Leadership Team.
