Tour of Farms 2010 – Sunday, July 25

Where does my food come from? What’s it like to be a farmer? All important questions that deserve consideration. You can get the answers – and have some summer fun – at the Tour of Farms this Sunday.

Go for a drive in the country. Enjoy the fresh air. Have a picnic. Walk through a blueberry patch. Chat with a farmer. Savour a fresh raspberry. Sample local ciders and pizza too.

We’re rolling Black Beauty to one of our favorite spots: Sea Cider. We’ll take in the view, sip some cider and make pizza using ingredients from local farms.

For more information, visit the Island Farm Fresh Tour of Farms website.
