Celebrate 50 Years of Common Ground

In celebration of the 50th Common Ground Country Fair, MOFGA presents an online silent auction rooted in the land and the people who have shaped the Fair over five decades. For this milestone year, we dug into archives, barns, and storage spaces, and reached out to longtime Fair vendors and volunteers to gather items that carry the Fair’s spirit. From well-loved memorabilia and vintage or upcycled Fair clothing to commemorative artwork and farm- and food-based experiences, each piece reflects 50 years of community, hard work, and organic agriculture in Maine.

The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) is a broad-based community that supports farmers, empowers people to feed their communities, and advocates for an organic future. Our vision is a future where local organic farming nourishes all people and sustains thriving ecosystems, healthy communities, and fair economies.
