Slow Food's Tour-de-Farm!
updated March 10, 2011
On Sunday, April 10, 24 farms will open their gates for the community to learn about local food production - where our food comes from, and the farmers who produce it. You can attend educational farm workshops, visit a cattle and goat ranch, taste produce right from the field, talk with farmers, visit with community gardeners, and find local business owners who are committed to more sustainable practices and growing our local economy.
This is a free event, and you will have the opportunity to enter the free raffle at each location you visit. There are multiple prizes, but only a single raffle - so the more locations you visit, the higher you chances of winning!
