How’s This for a Memorable Weekend?

Each of the farms on the tour will offer something different to visitors: see cute baby farm animals; pick your own berries; hug a cuddly Alpaca; take a hayride.  Get a behind-the-scenes look at three local dairies, a winery, a mushroom farm,and learn how local farmers grow gorgeous organic produce without harmful pesticides, and so much more!

Plan your Farm Tour Adventure!

UFT-2012---Hayride-at-Gibson-FarmWith 23 fabulous farms located throughout the Upstate in Anderson, Oconee, Pickens, Greenville, Laurens, Greenwood and Spartanburg Counties, it’s tough to know where to start!
