I am a big fan of the Watauga County Farmer’s Market and have always wanted to attend one of the High Country Farm Tours…I won’t make it this weekend, but, if you can you should. The ticket revenue goes to a good cause…Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture.
Saturday August 8th and Sunday August 9th
1 pm to 5 pm both days
Join local farmers and Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture for a fun-filled summer weekend! Enjoy the bounty of food and flowers in the beautiful North Carolina mountains while supporting local sustainable farms in Allegheny, Ashe, Watauga and Wilkes Counties. Interviews with the farmers will be posted on the High Country Farm Tour Blog.
Wrist bands are $20 in advance or $25 if purchased at a farm, and are good for one carload of people for the entire weekend—or pay $10 per farm.
From the BRWIA’ s website their mission statement is:
BRWIA’s mission is to empower women and their families with resources, education, and skills related to the production and consumption of sustainably-grown food from the community.
Based in Boone, North Carolina, BRWIA serves members across the High Country of the state.
