The second annual BX Farm Tour takes place Sept. 17-18.

The Know Your Farmer, Explore the BX tour features seven local farms, allowing people to connect with local food, to better know area farmers and how they are farming, and to explore all the BX has to offer.

The tours feature Curlew Orchard, Indigo Valley Farm, Elderberry Boost Farm, Tiny Terrace Farm, Vanzeal Acres, Wildwood Acres, Brookside Orchards and Bee-Yotch Honey.
The BX is a rich agricultural region with lots of walking and hiking trails and is the perfect place to get out and explore your own backyard.

Last year, there were specific hours for all of our farm stands plus a virtual tour, but this year, each farm has different options from open farm-stands where participants can stock up on farm-fresh produce, self guided and/or organized tours and on-farm events.

Check out the map and each farm’s unique event details online to decide whether to take an hour or a few hours to explore the BX.

Also new this year is an event passport with stamps at each of the farms visited.

Stop by all farms to fill up the BX Farm Tour Passport and you will be entered to win a harvest basket filled with goodies donated by the farmers.
