27th Annual Culpeper Harvest Days Farm Tour
Saturday, September 21, 2024 &
Sunday, September 22, 2024
10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Fun for all ages, the tour will showcase both traditional and unique farms in the beautiful Blue Ridge foothills that make up Culpeper County. The event provides a wonderful educational experience and includes an array of hands-on activities and demonstrations. The 10 carefully selected farms and ag-related businesses on the tour reflect Culpeper’s unique agricultural industry 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, or any of the participating farms. The Welcome Center will host free face painting, an antique tractor display, the Piedmont Railroaders, and visitors can pick up brochures and fun activities for kids. New this year, the Welcome Center will showcase additional Culpeper farms as part of the Culpeper Farm Corner and welcome 4H kids from the Culpeper Cooperative Extension Office.
A new section of the brochure titled “Other things to do” will promote single day ag related events and education and shares information on Choose Culpeper Farms’ new beverage exploration trail, Sips of Culpeper.
As in years past, many of the sites will offer lunch or snacks for purchase along with plants, herbs, and gift shop items! There is something to delight everyone. Specific activities at the farms have designated times, please check the site activities and plan accordingly.
Back by popular demand, pick up a passport at the start of your tour which can be stamped at each farm, and enter for a chance to win a gift card to one of the participating farms. A new grand prize basket will feature Culpeper farm products and will include various items from farms throughout the county.
Please note: Some farms are located on long driveways or private roads. Please use caution when driving to these farms and drive slowly!
*While supplies last, limited edition 2024 Farm Tour t-shirts and hats will be available for sale at the Welcome Center.
**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.
