MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

Enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and taste of Culpeper County on farms in the beautiful Blue Ridge foothills. The event provides a wonderful educational experience and includes an array of hands on activities and demonstrations. There are a variety of farms and related businesses on this year’s tour. Those participating reflect our agricultural heritage and the millions of dollars in production, wages, and salaries generated by the agricultural industry in our county and state.

The tour, a self-guided driving experience, can be started at the Welcome Center located at Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises on Route 29.

The Welcome Center will play host to an antique tractor display compliments of Griffwood Farms and Taye Griffin. Stop by to experience these authentic farm workhorses. Pick up your brochures and giveaways, as well as learn how to win door prizes at the Welcome Center before you head out to meet your local farmer. Farm Tour t-shirts will be available for purchase on a limited basis.

Be sure to bring your still and video camera to capture the moments! Food and drink are available at various farms. In addition, specific activities at the farms have designated times. Check your brochure for more details, activities and locations.

**The Farm Tour will take place rain or shine. Please be advised, some activities and individual farms may be closed as a result of inclement weather.
