Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture (BRWIA) is dedicated to strengthening the High Country's local food system by supporting women and their families with resources, education, and skills related to sustainable food and agriculture.

For the last five years, BRWIA has hosted the High Country Farm Tour to strengthen our local food system by connecting producers and consumers, educating the public about sustainable food and agriculture, and providing farmers with opportunities to increase their income. Last year, the High Country Farm Tour featured 20 farms in five counties and attracted over 500 visitors.

BRWIA is currently seeking farmer and sponsor applications for the 2012 High Country Farm Tour! For more information, please see the attachments below or email info@brwia.org
