1st Annual Bread Riot Farm Tour Saturday April 25, 2009 from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Please join us for a day of fun on the farm. Bread Riot is teaming up with three local farmers to host an educational farm tour. This year's featured Farms:

Wild Turkey Farms: A century old family farm outside China Grove, we grow and sell beef, pork, poultry, eggs, honey, veggies and hay. Although we are not certified organic, we use no growth hormones on our farm and only a minimal amount pesticides.

Bame Farms: We are committed to production methods that minimize the need for pesticides and chemical inputs. We produce eggs, pork, beef and geraniums. If you buy your eggs from the Bread Riot front porch, they come from Bame Farms.

Correll Farms: For four generations and over one hundred years, we have been bringing product to market. While our early years focused on dairy production, we now produce beef cattle, dairy heifers, tomatoes for wholesale, many vegetables and some fruits to sell at local Farmers Markets, as well as at our farm.

Following the tours we will be gathering at Sloan Park for a complimentary local food dinner. Tickets are $10 per person or $25 per car load. Sign-up early, tickets are limited. Purchase tickets online at the Bread Riot website www.breadriot.org. After you sign-up, you will receive detailed information about the tour and dinner, directions to farm locations and a map.

We would like to thank everyone for the wonderful participation during our First Farm Tour. We sold 48 out of a possible 60 tickets, and fed almost 50 people to a local dinner at Sloan Park. Special thanks goes to our farmers. This simply would not have been possible without your hard work. Please keep checking our website at www.breadriot.org , pictures from the tour will be posted soon. We are also hoping to have an article in the Post about our first Farm Tour. Be sure to tell your friends how much fun you had and ask them to support our organization. Thanks again everyone. It was great fun and we look forward to next years.
