High Country Farm Tour

Saturday August 8th and Sunday August 9th

1 pm to 5 pm each day

Join local farmers and Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture for a fun-filled summer weekend!  Enjoy the bounty of food and flowers in the beautiful North Carolina mountains while supporting local sustainable farms in Alleghany, Ashe, Watauga and Wilkes Counties. 

Wrist bands are $20 in advance or $25 if purchased at a farm, and are good for one carload of people for the entire weekend—or pay $10 per farm.  Wrist band sales are coming soon and will be available online and at local retail establishments. 

 

Please stay tuned to www.brwia.org for more information!
