2020 Local Food Guide

Plan Your
Appalachian
Staycation!
Farm Stands range from self-serve sheds
to year-round stores. Take a drive through
county roads and buy direct from the farm.
As residents seek recreation opportunities closer
to home and visitors look for responsible ways to
explore the mountains, we have compiled an updated
list of on-farm offerings. These activities have been
adapted to fit current public health guidelines. More
than a hundred farms in the region are still open
for a variety of unique and authentic experiences,
including visiting with animals, u-pick orchards, onfarm
lodging, small group tours, vineyard picnics,
and more. With opportunities to engage and connect
with our community at a premium, it is critical we take
advantage of ways we can safely enjoy and support
Appalachian farms. Find something new right here in
the mountains, including summer or fall activities that
lift your spirits and stock your kitchen.
U-Pick farms allow you to select your farm
products straight from the source. Pick apples,
berries, flowers, veggies, and more across the
region. Seasonality will vary, so contact farms
about availability.
Lodging at area farms delights the senses
by combining gorgeous views with freshly
harvested food. You don’t have to travel far to
experience a mountain getaway.
Activities may look a bit different during
the pandemic, but the farms listed here offer
a range of agritourism activities. Search
appalachiangrown.org by farm, product,
activity, and location.
Always contact the farm before visiting, as offerings may
change throughout the year. Find contact information
and more details at appalachiangrown.org.
