Good Neighbors Farm Tour

The 2022 Shelby County Good Neighbors Farm tour was held Saturday, September 17 from 9 a.m.– 4 p.m. (Thank you to everyone who participated and made the farm tour a success!)

If you are interested in being a host farm, or know someone whose farm would make a great addition to the tour, please let us know.  You can email Corinne at corinne.belton@uky.edu or call  633-4593.

If you would love to help plan the Farm Tour or be involved in putting together the gift baskets or promoting the tour, please consider joining the Farm Tour Committee.  This committee meets approximately three times per year to plan the Tour.  We welcome new input and the committee has a lot of fun recruiting and visiting new farms for the tour each year!  Call 633-4593 for more information about helping out with the Good Neighbors Farm Tour
