The 13th Annual Dufferin Town and Country Farm Tour takes place on Saturday September 28, 2013

This year’s visit will include farms in Amaranth township. You will visit a dairy farm, sheep milking operation, horse facility plus others to be confirmed.

Farming is Ontario’s second largest sector, yet Ontario’s farm families represent only 2% of the overall population. The food they bring us is safe, nutritious, sustainable and more affordable than any other country in the world.

The tour experience is fun and educational for the whole family. At each farm, visitors will interact with farmers directly and will be able to ask questions about the diversity and complexity of modern farming.

“We are constantly amazed at the generosity of our farm community to open their doors to the public. This is a richly rewarding experience for all who participate–an incredible opportunity for all ages to discover how farming directly impacts their lives.” says Gail Little, Chair of the Dufferin Town and Country Farm Tour.

“We can talk to the farmers and make a connection between the food we eat and how it’s grown”  says a past visitor.

The farm tour is a perfect family outing, starting at 9 am and ending at 4 pm., RAIN OR SHINE

THERE IS NO CHARGE TO ATTEND THE TOUR.

A DONATION OF NON-PERISHABLE FOOD OR CASH FOR THE LOCAL FOOD BANK

WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

“IF YOU ATE TODAY, THANK A FARMER”
