If you haven't been out to some of the small-scale farms in our area yet, this is your chance! During the 15th Annual Piedmont Farm Tour (April 24 and April 25, 1-5 pm), you can visit the farmers, tour their beautiful farms and learn about local, organic farming. Among the 40 or so farms and vineyards participating in the tour are a number of WWFM vendors, including:
Sponsored by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association and Weaver Street Market, the tour offers you a way to see local, sustainable farming in action and to get to know the people growing your food.
Printed maps will be at the market this spring, but you can preview a map of all the tour farms and purchase your ticket ($25 per carload, or free if you volunteer on the tour one day). A few notes: bring a cooler if you want to purchase local foods from the farms, and pets are not allowed on the tour. See you on the tour!
