Volunteer - NC

The Piedmont Farm Tour is seeking volunteers.
The Piedmont Farm Tour will be held on April 28th and 29th. This is a great opportunity to check out area farms and meet farmers. Forty farms are participating this year.

Volunteers help make this event possible. If you volunteer one afternoon at a farm, you can tour for free the other afternoon and get a farm tour t-shirt. This is a good way to get to know one farmer/farm well. Your role will be to greet visitors and help the farmer as needed.

To volunteer, sign up at the volunteer website. You can sign up yourself and a friend in one slot, if desired. To attend without volunteering, buy your ticket online at the farm tour website, at Weaver Street Market, or at the first farm you visit. It is $25 per carload for the weekend.

Full information, maps, and farm descriptions can be found on the website or in the brochure available at Weaver Street Market stores.
