Guide to the 15th annual Farm Tour – Farms across North Florida and South Georgia to participate in this weekend’s Farm Tour – including one farm in Gadsden County

The 15th annual Farm Tour is taking place from October 15-16, all across North Florida and South Georgia.

Each year, partners, including farms, orchards, organizations, ranchers, small businesses, growers and more come together to showcase their lands and products to attendees.

If you plan to attend this year, be sure to wear farm-appropriate clothing, bring sunscreen and cash, and have directions to the farm before getting on the road (not all farms receive wireless GPS signals).

The farm tour also asks that visitors leave their dogs at home - not all farms are suitable for furry visitors.
