Growing Local

ASAP's Farm Tour is just a few weeks away -- June 25 and 26, 2016 Open the barnyard gates and meet piglets who will spend their lives roaming the pastures of local farms. Or watch how cheese is made while the farm's goats forage outside. Spend some time learning how hops, one of the main flavoring ingredients in beer, are grown on towering trellises. The East Cluster route is full of inspiring farms to visit, including Vandele Farms on Cedar Creek, Round Mountain Creamery, Hop n’ Blueberry Farm, and Farm Fresh Ventures.
