Saturday, April 25, 2026
Travel Tip: The farms we’ve recommended visiting on Saturday offer plenty of farm-fresh goods, but none are ready to eat. Plan a farm-to-table brunch stop at an eatery along your route. Some great options include Small B&B and Cafe, Phoenix Bakery, and Breakaway Cafe. West End Kitchen & Catering sits next to Solstice Herb Farm, a great pitstop for handmade skincare products made with locally grown botanicals and herbs.
12pm-1:30pm: Take a guided tour of Green Heal Farms in Snow Camp for a look at Kenny and Courtney Boodman’s no-till organic farm. Find produce and fresh-cut flowers.- 2pm-3:30pm: Head to Celebrity Dairy and experience kidding season on the farm, complete with award-winning Chèvre. If you’re staying at the Inn, now’s your time to check in before the next stop.
- 4pm-5:30pm: Your final stop of the day takes you to Little Way Farm, a family-owned regenerative homestead just outside downtown Siler City offering pasture-raised poultry, 100% grass-fed beef and lamb, woodland-raised pork, cream-top dairy, and raw honey.
- 6pm: Grab dinner in town at one of Siler City’s many restaurants. The Broken Spit, Crossroads Grill, and Hayley Bales Steak House are all popular among locals. Consider a nightcap at Thirsty Skull Brewing – Siler City, then head back to the Inn for a restful evening.
Travel Tip: Nearby airbnbs, like Cedar Serenity Guesthouse, are a great way to put what you bought to good use for a seasonal, stay-at-home dinner. Pair with a great bottle of wine from locally-owned FireClay Cellars. Traditional accommodations are also available nearby in Siler City (Days Inn & Suites, AmeriVu Inn, and the Siler City Motor Lodge) and Pittsboro (Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Pittsboro, 458 West Bed & Breakfast, and Small B&B and Cafe).

Before You Go
- The tour is self-guided and takes place rain or shine.
- Bring a cooler to take home farm-fresh products for sale.
- Make sure to bring cash – not all farms can accept credit card payments.
- The registration fee is $35. Your button is your car pass – good for a full carload of people.
- Please note that the tour is not wheelchair accessible. Some farms may have easier access than others, but no farms have public buildings with ADA-compliant features. It’s also hard to say definitively whether a farm will have easier access, because the status can change with the weather, and the tour is rain or shine. Please reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions about accessibility.
