About this Event
Each two-hour farm tour will showcase the joys and secrets of organic farming and will touch on many of the techniques employed at Elmwood Stock Farm, including greenhouse production systems, pastured poultry and pigs, grass-fed cattle and sheep, vegetable growing, soil building, ecologically sustainable agriculture, and beneficial insects, to name a few. You’ll get a taste of daily life here at the farm while learning about the ways we feed our community and the ecosystems that surround us.
About This Farm Tour
- This tour will be held rain or shine, except in the event of severe weather.
- Please plan to arrive 10 minutes before the event start time so that the tour may begin at 9:00 am.
- Directions will be emailed to everyone who registers so that you can find the correct farm entrance and the starting point for this event.
- To gain the full experience, wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, pants that allow you to kneel to examine the soil, and protection from the sun, heat, cold, or rain. Bring a water bottle!
- This is a working farm, so electric fences are on, children need to be supervised by the adults who brought them, and pets are not allowed.
- Bring your cooler and your grocery list, or place an online order with us ahead of time, as the on-farm store will be open at the end of the tour.
- Children under the age of 12 receive complimentary tour tickets when attending with an adult.
Elmwood Stock Farm CSA members should register and purchase at least one ticket, and then can add the rest of the family at no charge by contacting the farm directly. After attending the tour, the value of the purchased tour ticket will then be credited to your CSA member account to use for purchasing extra items throughout the season.
About Elmwood Stock Farm
Elmwood Stock Farm, in Georgetown, Kentucky, is a sixth-generation family farm that began as a producer of Black Angus breeding-stock cattle. The cattle are still an important part of the farm ecosystem and farm business, though the farm now produces organic vegetables, fruits, meats and eggs.
Elmwood Stock Farm is committed to healthy and wholesome production of superior, high-quality, fresh farm products. Organic certification and close family involvement ensure that safe and sustainable farming practices are followed, livestock are well cared for, and land and water conservation remain a priority. Elmwood's produce, eggs and meats can be found at their on-site farm store, farmers markets, local restaurants and grocery stores, and through its CSA Farm Share in Kentucky and Cincinnati.
