Where does my food come from? What's it like to be a farmer? Who will grow my food in the next millenium? We think that these are important questions that deserve consideration.

The "Tour of Farms" has been organized by the Southern Vancouver Island Direct Farm Marketing Association so that you can get answers to these important questions - and have some summer fun at the same time!

The Tour of Farms is a self-guided tour of participating farrms. There are no admission fees.* A great family summer activity!

Go for a drive in the country. Enjoy the fresh air. Have a picnic.  Walk through a blueberry patch.  Chat with a farmer. Savour a fresh raspberry. Catch a trout.  Visit with an emu.

* Note: Some farms and wineries normally charge for tours or tastings; fees for those tours will be in place on the Tour of Farm day, and will be indicated on the Tour map and in the farm descriptions.
