If you're a farm venue who would rather not host guests on your farm
but would like a booth at one of our farm venues, please contact us and
we'll help arrange a partnership. If you are an Artisan (crafts, food
producer), we'll also be partnering you up with our Venues this year.
We'll have a registration form soon but please don't hesitate to contact
us in the mean-time. We nd the more dynamic the venue, the more
interest for our visitors.
If you don't think you qualify to be a Farm Tour Venue but still want to
show your support, please join us as a "Friend of Our Farmers" {HERE}.

FARMTOURVENUEREGISTRATION
The 8th Annual Rappahannock County Farm Tour Committee is seeking
registrants for our 2016 Farm Tour Venues including orchards,
vegetable and fruit producers, herbs and beekeepers, livestock and/or
meat producers, egg and dairy producers, vineyards, kitchen gardens,
and ber producers raising/growing and producing agriculturallybased product within the county to join us on this year's tour as a
venue. If you are a farm (or any of the categories listed above) but not
interested in becoming an on-site venue, we encourage you to please
join us as an Artisan with a booth at one of our Farm Tour Venues. Not
quite sure if you qualify but still would like to play a supporting role
(restaurants, value-added food/beverage producers, etc)? We'd love to
have you as a "Friend of Our Farmers"! If you have any questions please
do reach out and we would be happy to nd the best t for you. We

county.
The Rappahannock County Annual Farm Tour is a free, two-day, selfguided tour oering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of our working farms.
Rappahannock County's early settlers were small farmers; ocially
founded in 1833, it has long been deeply rooted in agriculture. The
mission of the Rappahannock County Farm Tour is to present an
unforgettable, educational and enriching experience of Rappahannock
County's (Agri)Culture for our local community and beyond.
Please register by June 30, 2016. We will be limiting venues this year
to fteen venues to allow our guests variety but also the time to visit
several venues within the county. All registrants will be reviewed by
the Farm Tour Committee and contacted by July 15.

Are You Willing to Host Artisans at Your Venue? *
This year we have decided to move the previous years' "Artisan Market" to our

compliment each venue with educational and hand-crafted crafts.
