The
tours will be self guided, so you can choose to visit farms that offer lectures
on gardening, hay rides or barnyard animals among many other activities. Fresh
produce, dairy, wine, and other locally made goodies will be available for
purchase as well! The following link will connect you to the Tour’s brochure
where you can learn more about each farm:http://www.newleafmarket.coop/events/farm_tour/_doc/2009-Farm-Tour-Brochure.pdf
