13th Annual Mountain Farm & Garden Tour

Saturday & Sunday

June 28 & 29, 2008

1 PM - 6 PM

Did you know that Western North Carolina is home to more than 12,000 family farms? Farms are a big part of our region's landscape and economy.

The Mountain Farm & Garden Tour is an opportunity to reconnect with where food comes from and with the farmers who grow it. Come and enjoy the scenic beauty of the mountain farms that make up our picturesque mountain landscape. See farm animals, fruits and vegetables in the field, and enjoy the best tasting artisan farm products available anywhere.

The Tour is a joint effort of the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project, Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, Mountain Tailgate Market Association, Organic Growers School, and Slow Food Asheville. Greenlife Grocery is the major sponsor.

Be sure to bring your cooler. You'll be able to buy produce eggs, cheese, meat, and other products at many of the farms.

Cost:

$25 per car to visit all farms

$10 per car to visit an individual farm
