Tours for foodies

Just read about a farm tour in Asheville this summer and thought it sounded great. For 20 bucks, you get to visit 38 farms and partake in things like yarn making, milking cows, or tapping for maple syrup. And there’s plenty of tasty things to try on the way like fresh bread, honey, and produce from an edible garden. You can learn all about it on the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project site, which collaborates on this with the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, Organic Growers School, Slow Food Asheville, and True Nature Country Fair.

I loved learning about beekeeping at the San Diego City College farm during the Food Justice conference I attended recently. But visiting 38 farms in a one day tour? A foodie’s dream. I must find one on the west coast. Only thing that comes up on my first try is typical one day tours like this.
