The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association unveiled the 2024 Common Ground Country Fair artwork Jan. 9 at the Maine Agricultural Trades Show in Augusta.
The artwork for the fair’s promotional materials and T-shirts is selected from contest submissions each year. This year’s artwork by Maya Kuvaja is titled “Owl with Apples.” This artwork aligns with MOFGA’s mission and spotlights how organic orchards serve as important habitat for wildlife, including birds of prey, according to a news release from April Boucher, Common Ground Country Fair Director.

“I love to paint these beautiful creatures, symbols of wisdom, natural allies of farmers. This handsome fellow seemed like a perfect fit in an apple tree, a blend of wild nature and one of my favorite Maine crops,” said Kuvaja, of Bridgton.
The “Owl with Apples” posters are available for sale at store.mofga.org through Sunday, Jan. 14, then again in early February through fair time.
Planning is underway for the 2024 Common Ground Country Fair, set for Sept. 20-22 in Unity. Vendor applications are being accepted for many areas of the fair.
