Thanks to everyone who went on the 22nd annual Piedmont Farm Tour last month! With one (mostly) sunny day and one rainy day, 1,703 visitors went on the tour. They made 5,402 farm visits. You can see the photos we took at Sunset Ridge Buffalo Farm (here) and Breeze Farm (here), and videos of the buffalo (here) and of Stoney Mountain Farm (here).
The 2017 Farm Tour raised $18,631 for Carolina Farm Stewardship Association (CFSA). CFSA, based in Pittsboro, is a network of individuals interested in a vibrant, sustainable food system that is good for consumers, good for farmers and farmworkers, and good for the land. Learn more at their website, https://www.carolinafarmstewards.org/.
Thanks again to all the farmers who opened their farms for the tour, and to everyone who spread the word and sold buttons. Plus, a huge thank you to the 140 volunteers who worked at the farms during the tour.
Save the date for 2018: Saturday and Sunday, April 28 and 29!
