Goals of the Centre County Farm Tour
Our goal is to connect you with the farms in Centre County offering you the best in healthy, sustainably raised food. We hope your experience will leave you with an understanding of how critical local and organic food systems are to preserving the beautiful agrarian landscape of rural Centre County.

What is Sustainable Agriculture?
Sustainable Agriculture refers to a food and fiber production and distribution system that is environmentally sound, economically viable, and socially just. To support a sustainable food system purchase from local farms that use practices such as integrated pest management (IPM) to reduce pesticide use, rotational grazing to recycle nutrients into the soil, or other farming practices that work in harmony with nature.
