Self -Guided Ag Tours
Agriculture is such an integral part of the area's culture and traditions that most locals take it for granted.
Realizing today that less and less people have any connections with farming and agriculture, we hoped offering a listing of farms that sell directly to consumer might provide both an educational and shopping experience while in the area.
