Photo by Claudia Laffin<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This year, around 20 family farms will open themselves up for guided tours, hands-on activities and even free samples and meals. From flower farms to a pepper farm to a vineyard and winery, the ASAP Farm Tour boasts a diverse assortment of farms that visitors can choose from. With the nonprofit\u2019s mission of connecting communities with local food, it is no surprise that the Farm Tour provides an experience that is beneficial to both visitors and farmers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFolks that don\u2019t live in a rural area get an opportunity to see a lot of different views of farm life,\u201d says Jeff Frisbee, a fourth-generation farmer at Addison Farms Vineyard and Winery. \u201cIt\u2019s a great experience for somebody whose biggest interaction with food is at the supermarket. That cellophane-wrapped ribeye didn\u2019t happen in the back of the supermarket; it\u2019s happening out here at the farms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joel Mowrey grows peppers at Smoking J\u2019s Fiery Foods. \u201cWe like that it generates revenue for the ASAP program while also having a dual benefit in that we generate new customers,\u201d says Mowrey. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of fun for us. It\u2019s a lot of hard work, but it\u2019s a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advance tickets for the event go for $35 a car, making it a cost-friendly weekend getaway for families and friends who want to experience WNC culture firsthand while also benefitting ASAP and the farmers the organization works with. While the tours take place mostly outdoors, masks and social distancing procedures are still encouraged. The event is also a great opportunity for those looking to volunteer. In exchange for one afternoon of welcoming visitors, volunteers get to attend the next day for free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m optimistic we\u2019ll see a good turnout this year,\u201d says Mowrey. \u201cI suspect the people who are excited about it are going to be very excited to be out and about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>For information about the Farm Tour and ASAP, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/ASAPConnections.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ASAPConnections.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project\u2019s (ASAP\u2019s) annual Farm Tour will return in 2021 after a yearlong hiatus due to COVID-19.
