Rippling Waters Farm will host its sixth annual Potato Planting Day Saturday, April 26, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

Potato Planting Day is the farm’s largest community volunteer day and in the past as many as 30 people have participated in helping plant over an acre of potatoes.

Last season Rippling Waters Farm gave away over 1,000 pounds of potatoes throughout the growing season to various local food pantries in Buxton, Standish, Limington, Limerick and Portland.

As part of a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant the farm was awarded this past fall the farm is committed to donating 20,000 pounds of fresh organic produce to low-income families and seniors in Buxton, Hollis, Limington, Standish and Frye Island for the next three years. A good volunteer turnout on the farm during Potato Planting Day will help the farm reach its that goal.

The farm is located at 55 River Road in Steep Falls. For more information about this fun, family friendly event, e-mail volunteer.ripplingwaters@gmail.com or call 642-5161, box 3.
