Annual Farm Tour

Sunday October 25, 2009 from 10 am to 4 pm,
with the help of friends and volunteers,
 we are taking part of the New Leaf Market 2nd Annual Farm Tour of North Florida and South Georgia.

Don't miss the chance to experience the most exciting farm tour in our area. Thirty-three farms are opening their doors and inviting you to come see local farms in action. Families can enjoy tours that include barnyard animals, fresh-baked goods and refreshments and of course, purchase amazingly fresh goods directly from the farm.

I will give a tour of the farm every 2h starting at 10am.

Peter and Susan Horn from Artisan Builders will create a spiral herb garden using recycled materials, compost at different stages and organic herbs.

Jenifer Kuntz from Raw and Juicy will demonstrate a quick and easy raw vegan dessert made with real ingredients like dates, avocado, and cacao. No fillers, ever. You can have your cake and eat it too !!

Arix Zalace will demonstrate how to turn your table scraps and paper waste into valuable fertilizer through worm composting.

Our shop will be open and we will have all our products for purchase.
Make sure to bring a cooler if you want to buy eggs and/or chickens.

We will have lunch available for sale, take some time to enjoy it under the big oak tree.

As you are in the area, our friends at Dragonfly Fields in Defuniak Springs are part of the tour and they will be open Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.
Their address is 1600 County Hwy 192.

Here is a link to the complete list of farms and directions :

The farm tour is an opportunity for you to learn about local food production, where it comes from, and the farmers who produce it. Eating is one of the most important things we do every day. It has life long implications for our health, our children's health and the health of the planet. Getting to know the people who grow your food is a powerful way to reconnect with food. When you support your local farms, you get the freshest food, build local economy while protecting our precious environmental resources, and keep farms as part of our landscape.

Thank you for forwarding this email to your mailing list and help us spread the word about real food.
