Volunteers get an insider view of farms,

Email: [email protected]
 Look for the red tomato signs to help
get you to your destination.
 Start with the understanding that
you will only be able to visit 3 to 4
farms a day. By the time you factor
in driving and actually touring the
farm, you’ll need to budget about 1
hour to 1.5 hours for each farm.
 You can see more farms if you stick
to one region of the tour each day.
You may want to pick 3 to 4 farms
that are close to each other to focus
on during a single day – you’ll see
more farms that way!
 Many of the farms are on the tour
each year, so you can see them in
the future. Each year the farm tour
will feature new farms as well as
many favorites from previous years.
 Wash up! Please take time to wash
your hands after petting an animal.
Hand washing stations
(www.useyerfoot.com) will be
provided at farms should washing
facilities not be available. You may
also be asked to disinfect your shoes
in a mild vinegar solution in order to
prevent farm-to-farm transmission of
germs that may affect livestock.

WILD
SCALLIONS FARM
SweetBeetCityFarm.com
Sweet Beet occupies 1.3 acres in the heart of
downtown Durham that has, until recently,
stood vacant. In January of 2013 we started
leasing the land. With the help of friends
and the Durham Community, we are turning
the land into a vibrant, productive space
that utilizes many permaculture techniques.
We started selling veggies in May of 2013.
We envision a vibrant urban farm that can
provide nutritious fruits and vegetables for
its surrounding neighbors, a place where
folks can gather to learn from each other and
create new life for these formerly vacant lots.
