Happy Earth Day!

Today is a reminder that the land we live on, work on, and benefit from every day deserves our care and respect.

Small actions matter. Supporting local agriculture matters. Protecting our open spaces matters.

Special Activity at the Market: Chick Hatching

Agriculture comes to life at the Farmer & Maker Market with a special chick hatching demonstration. One of the members of the Plainfield Agriculture Commission has been carefully incubating eggs, and we are hopeful that visitors will be able to watch chicks hatch during the event.

This hands-on learning experience highlights an important part of agriculture while giving families and children the chance to see the beginning of life on a farm. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn about incubation, farming, and animal care in a simple and engaging way.

Stop by the booth at the Farmer & Maker Market on Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 10 AM to 2 PM at Plainfield High School and enjoy this fun and educational activity for visitors of all ages.
