Small Farm Bus Tour in Late August

A small farm bus tour offers a variety of educational stops over a two-day period in late August. Back by popular demand, the tour will allow participants to "Explore New Farm Income Opportunities," on Monday, August 27, and Tuesday, August 28. Tour participants will depart from the Richard A. Henson Center on the UMES campus at 7:30 a.m. sharp. The next 48 hours will provide them with many opportunities to experience successful and innovative farming ventures in Delaware and Pennsylvania and to explore alternatives and possibilities that will help the average farmer increase his or her bottom line and implement sustainable practices. The tour will end as the bus returns to the Henson Center around 6:30 p.m. on August 28. The registration fee, which covers bus transportation, hotel accommodations for one night, educational materials and light refreshments, is $25 per person.
