2007-MAY > 4th Annual Franklin County Farm Foods & Crafts Tour

FL000028_revThe Franklin County Farm Tour is an annual event hosted by North Carolina Cooperative Extension, the Franklin County/NC Arts Council, Whole Foods Markets, HomegrownHandmade.com and the Ridgeway Opry House.

The goal of the the Tour is “to promote a sustainable way of life in Franklin County, support buying local products, support the local art community, and promote ‘green space’ and environmental stewardship”.

Lynch Creek Farm participated for the fourth year, as one of nine farm stops in Franklin County, NC open to the public on Saturday May 19th and Sunday May 20th, 2007 from  11:00am to 5:00pm.

Over 800 attendees donated $5 (children under 12 are free) to tour the farms again this year. Most attendees were from outside Franklin County. It has evolved into a “family” event with something for everyone to learn and enjoy.
