Local Flavor, Farm Fresh

The Farm & Food Tour is more than just a day of visiting farms—it's an opportunity to connect with the passionate people behind your favorite local food. The farmers, bakers, cheesemakers, and artisans you’ll meet are dedicated to providing delicious, wholesome, and unique food while also caring for the land, water, and their communities.

Many of these farms and businesses aren’t normally open to the public, making this a rare chance to go behind the scenes, meet the makers, and experience firsthand what makes them special.

The tour is organized by Savor the River Valley, a grassroots initiative that brings together farmers, food producers, and local businesses to support one another and showcase the incredible food being grown and made right here.

This year’s Farm & Food Tour is happening Saturday, April 26th from 10 AM to 4 PM (with some evening festivities after). It’s a one-day, self-guided adventure where you can pick your own pace and stops—explore farms, sample food, join in on tours, and enjoy hands-on activities for all ages.

Supporting our local farmers matters—yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Whether you're new to the area or a longtime local, this is a wonderful way to invest in our community’s future.

And while you're out exploring, if you haven’t yet checked out the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) options from Seven Seeds Farm and Steadfast Acres, now’s a great time. Both are featured in our CSA Guide, which includes a comprehensive list of 24 CSA programs convenient for Fitchrona residents—from veggies and eggs to flowers and pasture-raised meats.
