One of the best ways to learn more about the local food scene is to visit local farms, and it happens to be a lot of fun! 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 several WWFM vendors, including:You've shopped them at the market--now visit them at their farms! 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.
The full guidebook is now available so you can map out your route. Buy your ticket ($25 per carload for all farms, $10 per car per farm or free if you volunteer on the tour one day) and remember to bring a cooler if you want to purchase local foods from the farms. See you on the tour!
