About the Farm Tour

The High Country Farm Tour is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the people who have dedicated their lives to feeding our community in a sustainable, healthy manner. Whether you are a traveling tourist, a High Country resident, a local food enthusiast, or a curious consumer... this tour is for you. 
​​For over a decade BRWIA's High Country Farm Tour has featured many of the 30+ local farms in Ashe, Caldwell, and Watauga Counties and attracted participants from our local community and beyond. We have been working to strengthen our local food system through these tours by:
  • connecting producers and consumers, 
  • educating the public about sustainable food and agriculture, 
  • and providing farmers with opportunities to increase their income.
BRWIA recognizes that the health of our food system depends upon community support and consumer education.

We believe that by providing community members with opportunities to visit local farms, connect with farmers, and learn more about growing food sustainably, we can create an educated consumer base that supports and advocates for locally-owned and operated farms and businesses.
Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture (BRWIA) is dedicated to strengthening the High Country's local food system by supporting women and their families with resources, education, and skills related to sustainable food and agriculture.
