    The Town of The Blue Mountains is excited to announce that Open Fields: The Blue Mountains Farm Tour will return for its second year on Saturday, October 5. 

    The Open Fields Farm Tour gives the public an opportunity to visit five local producers in the area, where they can learn about modern farming practices, meet the individuals who have dedicated themselves to agriculture, and explore the process of bringing food from farm to table. This free, family-friendly event will run from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 5. 

    Each Open Fields location will provide a different experience. Educational tours, workshops, demonstrations, live entertainment, family activities and vendors are some of the offerings available to attendees.

    • Ardiel Acres – Apple Orchard – 356861 The Blue Mountains Euphrasia Townline, Clarksburg
    • Blue Mountain Fruit Company – Apple Packing Facility – 067488 33rd Sideroad

    “Open Fields gives our local agriculture community the spotlight they deserve,” says Mayor Andrea Matrosovs. “We have new locations and experiences for the public to enjoy, so I encourage everyone to join us for a day of exploring, fun and learning about these local agricultural operations on October 5.” 

    Open Fields is a free, rain-or-shine event that is open to all members of the public. Visitors are encouraged to wear proper footwear for a day on the farm. Attendees can visit the farms at any time throughout the day. Pre-registration is only required for the tours at the Blue Mountain Fruit Company. Registration for the Blue Mountain Fruit Company tours will open later this month.
