Our county's Agriculture and Art Tour recently took place. This unique experience invites residents to participating farms to enjoy what they have to offer as well as local artisans.
Although these AG & Art Tours have been taking place for years across South Carolina, it is the first year Lexington County has participated. I suspect this will be a growing event over the coming years as more people are interested in knowing where their food is coming from and having that desire to support local farms.
We started with the Clinton Sease Farm.
I wish I was a kid here!
It is filled with playground activities made with many upcycled materials.
This cluster is tires is a tire maze! Brilliant!

The farm is covered with motif that is fun to peruse!
Photo op objects!
As you can imagine, this space can be rented for children's birthday parties!
Other events throughout the year here include a corn maze, sunflower weekends, pumpkin patch, hayrides and a cozy campfire.
The AG and Art Tour is organized by the Cooperative Extension, College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences of Clemson University. It is such a great way to bring community together. We visited farms very close to our home that we did not even know existed!
Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val
Looks like fun!

DeleteThat does look like a fun playground!
ReplyDeleteOh to be a kid again!
DeleteYes this is so true, more and more people want to know where their food is coming from. My friend started a company in Seattle called Eat Local and all the food is locally sourced.

ReplyDeleteIsn't it brilliant? Such a great event for the community! I love seeing what is grown around us that I was unaware of.
DeleteSo much fun! Love this Val! I hope our places can open up like this again soon! We just started opening up (a little bit), after being closed down for a third time! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI hope it gets better for you guys Stacy! We expect to see cases rising again where we are because too many people are refusing to be vaccinated.
