Grazing Days 2010 - Farm visitation

Farm Visits Up Close and Very Personal

Saturday and/or Sunday Sept. 25 and 26

Farms will be open from 1 to 4:00 PM

You are invited to select any of these area farms to visit. They are all working farms growing a cornucopia of vegetables & fruits and many raising animals and poultry. Some have stores selling jams, honey, even wool products. If you are looking for a place to order a CSA in 2011 this is the time to meet the farmers and see the harvest. NOTE: some farms will be open Sat and some Sun and some both. See the list.
