Annual Farm Tours 2010
Click here for your Farm Tour Passport
As part of the MFC’s continuing effort to connect you with local farmers and growers, we arrange for several farms to open their doors and fields to the public. Spend the afternoon with your family and friends exploring local farms and speaking with the dedicated folks who run them.
Below are the dates for this seasons farm tours. Each farm will be open from 1p - 5p. Stop by the Marquette Food Co-op to get your passport to take on the tours. Stamp it at the farms you visit and drop it off at the Co-op by August 22nd to enter a chance to win a basket of local items.
