Get Out and Get Local: Tours and Good Eats on the Farm

There are a lot of opportunities beyond the farmers' market to get to know local farmers in North Carolina and enjoy their farm-fresh produce, meats, eggs and more. Here are some of the ways you can get out of town and onto the farm to learn more this spring!

CEFS Spring Farm Festival, May 8, 10 AM-2 PM, Goldsboro, NC
This festival include educational booths and activities, workshops, tours, kids' activities, a farmers' market, local food and live music all day!
Farm to Fork Picnic, May 23, 4-7 PM, Breeze Farm, Hillsborough, NC
Join Piedmont cooks and farmers for an evening of food, live music and fun activities for the entire family! In a unique collaboration, the region's most acclaimed cooks will pair with Piedmont farmers to present a picnic-style feast that celebrates our local foods and the people who grow and prepare them. Advanced tickets are required — this event often sells out, so buy now!
