We invite you to enjoy our sixth annual, self-guided tour of some of our local farms and growers on Sunday, September 17 from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Embark on an adventure with this opportunity to see our local farmers in action as they provide healthy food for our community. 

Pack up the kiddos or gather your friends for a self-guided tour. Go by bicycle, motorcycle, or car — give your family or friend group an educational and fun day exploring our area.

This is a unique opportunity to visit as many listed farms as you wish during the scheduled “farm tour” times. Each farm is represented by a number — they are listed in order of distance from the co-op from least to most. Check them off as you go and have a blast!
