Farm Tours
Weekly Farm Tours
For individuals, families, or groups of less than ten, we offer weekly farm tours to the public each week, with a suggested donation of $10/person.
Walk the fields with Farmer Bryan and learn about farming in Virginia; our basic farm practices, from seed to sale; why we grow without the use of synthetic chemicals (and how we manage pests and weeds); the importance of diversity on a farm; and why we use composting, cover cropping, and crop rotation. You will have a chance to ask questions on on the tour, as well.
Tours are every other Saturdays at 2 pm, from June - November. Please sign up to let us know you're coming.
