The Farm Crawl is an excellent opportunity for families and friends to meet farmers, see demos, and take tours of local farms in southern Illinois. Every year the Co-op works with local farmers to create this unique event that is fun and educational for all ages. Farmers will share the history of their farms, talk about crops, livestock, and the unique ups and downs in farming. This kind of interaction gives tremendous insight into the region's agriculture and the food supply in our area. You don't need to be a farmer to enjoy this crawl! So come out, see the sights, and learn about the diverse landscape of farming that southern Illinois has to offer!!
This year we have all new farms to the crawl from the past few years, and dividing the days into regions. We are focusing Saturday's farms in the North region of southern Illinois and Sunday's farms will be in the Central region around Carbondale/Marion and to the Southeast toward Golconda.
Single or multi-day car passes available for purchase online starting in mid-July at https://www.neighborhood.coop/farm-crawl and in-store starting in late August. This event is a self-guided tour. Your pass will give access to farms on the crawl for the region and exclusive event materials.
Monies raised go to support Food Works!
Note: Due to the popularity of this event, we have to limit the number of passes as not to overwhelm the farms. This event has sold out in the past, so don't delay in getting your pass!
