Mark your calendars now for Montgomery County’s 2008 Annual Farm Tour and Harvest Sale, scheduled for Saturday, July 26, with some farms participating on Sunday July 27 as well. The tour and sale will be held both days from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. In the event of rain, some events and activities may be delayed or cancelled.

More than 10,000 people attended last year’s farm tour. The Farm Tour provides an opportunity to purchase fresh fruits, flowers, plants, and much more. Several farms have hayrides, pony rides, music, demonstrations and other fun activities planned for people of all ages. Spend a day or two in the country petting farm animals or having lunch by a scenic pond. It’s an educational experience and a great family day outing.
