Well, it’s a wrap for 2012!
In the face of threatening skies and a few showers, hundreds of visitors took to the back roads of Central Virginia to take part in the 2012 Meet Yer Eats Farm Tour. We hope you had a great time, met some of our rock star farmers, and learned a few things along the way. We’ll be tallying attendance and gathering pictures from the 2012 Meet Yer Eats Farm tour over the next few weeks, and sharing them with you here.
Keep up with us on facebook and twitter for photos and summaries – and while you’re at it, save the date! Labor Day 2013 – for the 5th annual tour!
The tour is held rain or shine on Labor Day, from 10 am to 4 pm.
Buy a car pass online or at the MARKET CENTRAL booth at the City Market. One pass admits everyone in the car!
Peruse the brochure (download it here!) and check out the list of participating farms on the right to decide where you’d like to visit. There are 21 farms to choose from – yup; twenty one.
If you order online, pick up your car pass at the first farm you visit on tour day. Or, you can purchase at the Market Central booth at City Market, or by mail. (Send a check for $15, payable to Market Central, P.O. Box 6459, Charlottesville, VA 22906 – but please be sure we receive your check by August 27 to allow for return mail of your pass!)
Visit the farms you choose, at your own pace.
Pack a picnic, and a cooler – many of the farms offer on-farm sales.
The downloads page has the full brochure available for download and printing, as well as maps… and more to come!
