The Farm & Art Tour™ is the largest free, self-guided benefit tour of farms, farm markets, and farm heritage sites in the Mid-Atlantic.
Our Mission
We support small farms by offering program content that customers care about: agriculture, environment, food, and health and wellness.
The tour also provides a new venue for artisans and performers in the region.
As dedicated supporters of the arts, we’re thrilled to feature farms, markets, and farm heritage sites as hosts for a diverse roster of visual artists, fine craft artisans, and performance artists—a highlight of the tour designed to drive visitor attendance.
