FARM TOUR GOALS

What makes the Georgia Mountains Farm Tour special, is the kinds of farms we select for tours. Many farms are not typically open to the public because they are small working farms with limited time and manpower.  You may see them at many of the local farmers market in the area, which we encourage everyone to support. We also do our best to select farms who grow food without synthetic chemicals. We feel this is difficult to find 'round here, but an important practice for so many reasons including healthier people and clean water. Our main goals are to:

1. Help local residents learn who, why, when, and where local food comes from

2. Connect folks with those currently producing food in your community

3. Provide authentic experiences on working farms with sustainable practices 

IMPORTANT

No Pets allowed 

Attendees will be required to sign a Farm Tour Release Waiver before visiting farms
