Guests will return to the Agricultural Center by 12:30 PM and can shop at the Master Gardener’s plant sale, purchase pumpkins from the 4-H club, and take part in a food preservation workshop.
The tour fee includes the bus ride, bottled water, and some UF/IFAS gear! Bring your shopping totes and be prepared to learn about what your local farmers are producing in the area, and where to buy it.
Participants must be riding the bus: no personal vehicles will be allowed on these private properties.
In the event of extreme weather or the fact that this is Florida hurricane season, tours may be canceled, but you will receive a refund or a rescheduled date, depending on farmer availability.
