It’s that time of year again, it’s time to show off your garden, and here’s your chance.
The 2nd Annual Backyard Farm Tour will take place on August 27th & 28th from 10am – 3pm. That’s right! It’s TWO days this year! We’ve decided to extend it to give the farm owners a chance to take the tour themselves, and it allows for more farms to participate! So, get your application in ASAP, so you too, can be included in the tour. It’s loads of fun and it’s always nice to see people oohing and aaahing over all your hard work.
Really want to kick it up a notch? Sign up to be Farm Sponsor, and have your produce featured during our Feast from the Farms event on Saturday night! This year we’re charging an additional $10 per person to attend the after-party on Saturday evening from 5pm – 8pm, but here’s why: Local celebrity chefs will each team up with one farm who’s produce will be featured in several appetizers that they create. Attendees will have the chance to taste the produce they saw during the day, and mix and mingle with other like-minded individuals. We will also have a cash bar featuring local brews and wine, live music, and information about gardening and chickens. Did we mention that gardeners featured on the tour get 2 free tickets??
Tickets for the Feast from the Farms event as well as tour booklets will be available soon, so check back.
In the meantime, download an application to be a farm on the tour! You can mail it to erin.schiedler@gmail.com, who you can also contact if you have any questions about this event.
Happy gardening!
