21st Annual Kaw Valley Farm Tour This Weekend
Fall is a great time to get out into the country and see new things, visit new places, and feel the change of the season. And the Kaw Valley Farm Tour, being held on October 4 and 5, is a truly unique way to do just that. For 21 years, on the first full weekend in October, people pack up their cars with friends and family, and cruise back roads and quiet highways, (and some city streets) of the Northeast region of Kansas to reach some very special places.
Created 21 years ago by Douglas County Extension and a group of committed community members as a means to improve economic activity for small family farms and to educate the community about the production of food and fiber, this annual event is a favorite.
Do you like baby goats, rescued donkeys, free range chickens, apple orchards, kune kune pigs, honeybees, Scottish Highland cattle, persimmon trees, paw paw forest, pumpkin patches, hay rides, inspiring garden techniques, flowers in a maze that you can cut, kids art in a garden, logs inoculated with mushroom spawn and mycorrhizae around orchard trees, Nigerian Dwarf Fainter goats, native plant gardens, mums, a straw palace you can climb, an urban farm school, new born calves, super productive tiny urban yard with ducks and rabbits, turkeys, protected prairies, nursery plants, medicinal herbs, vineyards and wine?
Then this is the Fall event for you. Purchase a $15 ticket online that is good for your entire carload of friends and family for both days. Then show your receipt at the first farm that you stop at and they will hand you a beautiful color guidebook. Tickets and more information at: https://www.kawvalleyfarmtour.com/
