5th Annual Eastern Triangle Farm Tour

The 5th annual Eastern Triangle Farm Tour will have a record twenty-four sites on the tour, including eight new farms! We are excited to be showcasing ten farms with sustainable and humane livestock operations, getting the word out about healthy, local meat options. We will have mushrooms and honeybees. On the urban scene, we are happy to welcome an urban mini-farm in Durham (Two Ton Farm) and the farm of the Inter Faith Food Shuttle in Raleigh. These farms, along with the SEEDS Garden in Durham, highlight how lots can be grown on small acreage near the city and how youth can be engaged in the movement. Another newcomer to the tour this year is Durham County's newest goat dairy; located in Bahama, Prodigal Farm has 65 goats and a brand new milking parlor and cheesemaking building. And, of course, the tour includes a strong collection of vegetable and fruit producers, where foodies and growers can learn about organic and sustainable horticulture practices.
