ASAP’s Farm Tour

ASAP’s 2024 Farm Tour will take place Saturday and Sunday, September 21-22, from 12-5 p.m. both days.

ASAP’s annual Farm Tour is a chance to experience how food is grown and raised through guided tours, demonstrations, and tastings. The Farm Tour showcases the diversity of working farms in Western North Carolina, including vegetables, livestock, vineyards, orchards, flowers, fiber, and more! This is a family-friendly event and a great outing for visitors of all ages, abilities, and interests. All are welcome.

ASAP is committed to equity and inclusion at all of our events. Please be open and considerate as you interact with farmers and fellow attendees.  

Tips for the Tour

Make an itinerary. Choose two to four farms to visit each day, allowing at least an hour at each farm in addition to travel time. Please be respectful and only visit farms during tour hours. 

Map your trip. Plan your route in advance and print directions between farms. GPS and cell phone service can be unreliable for some farms and rural roads. 

Pack supplies. Be prepared with drinking water, sunscreen and hats, closed-toe walking shoes, hand sanitizer, bug spray, a cooler, an umbrella or rain jacket, cash, and a camera.

Leave dogs at home. Pets can pose food safety threats, damage plants, and are dangerous to livestock. 

Bring the whole family. The Farm Tour is a great activity for visitors of all ages. Look for family-friendly activities in farm descriptions and note which tours are best suited for those with limited mobility.

Enjoy a picnic or meal on the farm. Look for “Enjoy a meal” in the farm descriptions to see which farms have food. Some farms accept debit/credit, but not all; plan to bring enough cash. Farms also make great picnic spots, so bring a blanket.
