Farm Tour tips: Third annual event Saturday
Davidson County Farm Tour 2022 IS BACK THIS YEAR! RAIN OR SHINE!
Enjoy a day trip to meet local farmers and tour their beautiful farms on the Davidson County Farm Tour.
This year, we are excited to introduce several new farms to the 3rd Annual Davidson County Farm Tour and all but two are first-generation farms. No two farms are alike. You have the opportunity to meet these farmers at the beginning of their farm journey and learn about the challenges they face as they build their farm business. Many of them are having to build their soil or steward their landscape. Find out how and why they have chose, what they are farming, and what makes their farm unique. These visits will provide you with a starting measurement so that when you visit them again, you can witness their growth.
Farm Tour Passes $10
Good for a full carload of people.
Proceeds goes towards Davidson County Local Food Network, working to build a stronger local food economy and healthy communities.
Many of the participating farms have animals. These are working farms and many of the livestock are not accustomed to petting. Some farms will have specific animals that are people-friendly and accessible for petting. Please do not approach livestock without the permission of the farmer.
No pets are allowed.
Planning Tips to Remember:
Respect the tour hours – the tour happens Saturday, June 18, 2022 from 1-5 p.m. – RAIN OR SHINE. Please don’t arrive before or after the tour hours.
The tours are varied from guided to self-guided – visit any farm in any order! Start with the understanding that you will not have time to visit all the farms on the tour. Pick a farm that most interests you and then plan additional stops nearby. A good plan: 2-3 farms allowing 1-2 hours per farm.
Your FARM PASS - Eventbrite ticket or sticker is your car pass – good for a full carload of people. Your pass gets you and whoever else is in your car (friends, family, neighbors–truly whomever) into all the farms on the tour. You don’t need a pass for each person. So, cram your car full of folks and head out for some farm-fresh fun! Cycling groups are welcome to use just one pass too.
No pets – sorry, no dogs or other furry friends allowed.
Bring a cooler – nearly every farm will tempt you with farm-fresh produce, meats, and other yummy things. Don’t forget to bring a cooler with ice so you can stock up!
Dress appropriately – wear comfortable, sturdy shoes and be prepared for muddy lanes and uneven ground. Bring your camera, sunscreen, snacks, water and rain gear, as needed.
Have a great time! – feel free to tag any photos you take on the tour with the hashtag #davidsoncountyfarms or #DCFarmsRock on social media. Follow us on @davidsoncountyfood on Instagram and Facebook.
