More Information about farm tour:
Professional photographs will visually transport participants to 21 local farm sites, and live online presentations will give people a chance to interact with local farmers. The Virtual Farm Tour will also provide information about buying directly from farmers, and resources for home gardeners.
This year’s Virtual Farm Tour has the longest list of participating farms in the history of Farm Tour, in part due to the event being virtual. Several participating farms are not able to host visitors on their farms, but they are excited to share their stories and products with the community.
Check out the list of 21 participating farm sites at GetOnTheFarm.Org - hopefully you’ll learn about at least one farm that you have never heard of! Continue checking the website as it grows leading up to the Virtual Farm Tour, with photos, extended farm profiles, resources, and videos.
