23rd Annual Piedmont Farm Tour is this weekend!

This weekend is the 23rd Annual Piedmont Farm Tour and it promises to be a big event: for this year's tour, the Eastern Triangle Farm Tour is merging with the Piedmont Farm Tour! With their powers combined, this merged tour is showcasing forty-five sustainable farms in the Piedmont area, six of which have been certified by A Greener World!

Co-sponsored by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association and Weaver Street Market, the Piedmont Farm Tour brings attention to sustainable farms across Alamance, Chatham, Durham, Franklin, Johnston, Orange, Person, and Wake counties. From 2 PM to 6 PM on Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29, - with select farms kicking the tour off at noon both days - visitors will be welcome to visit any of forty-five scenic, sustainable farms, nearly all of which will have a variety of delicious and fresh foods for purchase, so don't forget to bring a cooler loaded with ice! In addition to the goodies you can take home and prepare, approximately twenty of the farms on the Tour will have tasty treats for you to buy and eat on site to keep you fueled while you check out the sustainable agriculture community in the area.

The NOAA forecast for the area shows this weekend being just right for getting outside and spending sometime getting to know the sustainable farms in our neck of the woods! So, hop on over to your nearest Weaver Street Market location or the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association website and purchase the button that will serve as your admission ticket. The button will cover an entire group, provided they're sharing a vehicle, so bring your friends, family members, or co-workers!
