New Farm Tour

Wednesday, June 5, 2024 · 10 am–2 pm 

Martinsville, Virginia


Participants will tour a new farm in Henry County that has successfully introduced year-round production by using multiple high tunnels, raised beds and field planting through seed and transplants. This tour is an excellent opportunity to meet with and learn from someone who has recently become a farmer, having worked through pitfalls and enjoyed success.
