Thank you farmers!
The first annual Patrick County Farm Tour was held Oct. 10, 2009
Farms Opened Their Doors For Patrick County's First Farm Tour
Thank you to the farmers who opened their doors on October 10, 2009 for the first annual Patrick County Farm Tour!
The heart of Virginia has always been agriculture. Many of the first settlers to Virginia were farmers whose survival depended solely on their carefully tended crops and the gathered harvests.
Agriculture is a tradition —a tradition where communities unite, families work together, and folks experience the wonder of nature and its gifts.
Whether you live in Virginia or North Carolina, the beauty of Patrick County is closer to your doorstep that you think.
You don't have to wait for farm tour day to meander the scenic byways, discover the expansive vistas from atop the mountains, travel the rolling hills of the Piedmont and see the diversity of our agricultural heritage.
Many farms that participated in the tour are open to the public year-round. Others welcome visitors by appointment. So click on The Farms link above, get in touch, then take an hour, a day, a weekend and come meet your new best friends, the farmers of Patrick County Virginia.
2009 Patrick County Farm Tour made possible by The Farmers of Patrick County, Virginia Environmental Endowment, and the Dan River Basin Association
