East Urban Farm Tour This Weekend

8th April, 2010 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

If you’re interested in gardening, you should check out the East Urban farm Tour this Sunday, 1-5.  Here’s the official link for more detials.  Apparently there are 4 farms just east of I-35 near downtown that are in close proximity to each other.  Tickets are $35 advance, $40 at the door, and children under 5 are free.  However, there is a charge because this is a fund-raiser for the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance, but many of these same farms are open for free visits during their market days. If you would like free admission, they are still seeking volunteers – email region2@tofga.org to volunteer.

And if you’re not interested in visiting the farms but would like to learn more about them, check out this Chronicle link.  They also have info on each farm (Boggy Creek Farm, Rain Lily Farm, Springdale Farm, and HausBar Farm).
