The Annual Piedmont Farm Tour, by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, connects guests to local farmers and farm sites in multiple counties. Some farms will open at 12pm, for a fun way to kick off the tour. Make sure to visit these Chatham County farms:

• Copeland Springs Farm
• Granite Springs Farm
• Little Way Farm

It’s a time of celebration; details to follow, including a link to purchase tickets, the interactive Google Map, and a link to register as a volunteer.

Farm visits include pasture-raised livestock farms, baby animals, fiber demonstrations, hayrides, farm equipment on display, an award-winning cheese dairy, locally-grown and fermented pickles, newly established orchards, food trucks, locally grown hops, a farm with a brewery on site, and organically grown produce farms. The tour is self-guided. Bring a cooler to take home farm fresh products for sale. Pets not allowed. The tour takes place rain or shine.
