You have learned a lot about local farmers at the Western Wake Farmers’ Market, and now you have the chance to tour up to 20 farms during the 4th Annual Eastern Triangle Farm Tour! The Sept. 19 and 20 tour, sponsored by Carolina Farm Stewardship Association and Whole Foods Market, features 20 farms, including market vendor Melvin’s Gardens and Spain Farm.
The tour is available Saturday and Sunday from 1-5 p.m. and helps connect you and your family with where your food comes from, who is growing it and how it is being grown. Be sure to visit Melvin’s Gardens on Sunday at 2:30 for storytelling fun! Nationally-known storyteller Ron Jones, who grew up on a dairy farm, will share music and stories there.
Complete details, including a map, information on each farm and special events are available here. Tickets may be purchased in advance online or at Whole Foods Market in Cary at Waverly Place. Advance tickets are $25 per car for all the farms (includes both days). Tickets purchased the day of the tour are or $30 per car for all farms or $10 per farm.
