Know Your Farmer: October is Farm Month
This October, Davidson County Local Food Network is putting the spotlight on the farmers who grow, raise, and produce food right here in our community. Throughout the month, our Know Your Farmer features will introduce you to local farms, the people behind them, the products they offer, and the stories that make each farm unique.
Be sure to follow along throughout September and October to meet local farmers, discover their products, and learn about upcoming farm events, open houses, agritourism activities, pumpkin patches, U-pick opportunities, and more. We hope these features inspire you to visit a local farm, support a local producer, and connect with the people who help make our local food system possible.
Farm Tour Update
We’re sorry to share that the Davidson County Farm Tour will be canceled this fall, 2026. Unfortunately, we did not have enough farms sign up to make the tour possible this year. We’re hopeful to bring the Farm Tour back next year, with the next tour expected to take place in May 2027, and we’ll be excited to see you all again then!
Until then, please continue supporting your local farmers markets, Piedmont Fresh, and local farm stands. You can also explore a digital copy of the Davidson County Local Food Guide to discover local farms, farm stands, markets, and other ways to connect with local food.
We also have something special planned for October! Be sure to follow along on our DCLFN blog, where we’ll be featuring local farms that had signed up for this year’s Farm Tour and highlighting some of the larger events they’ll be hosting throughout the month.
Thank you for your continued support of our local farmers and food community. We sincerely apologize for the cancellation and look forward to seeing you all at the next Farm Tour!
