Professional Improvement Tours

Wednesday July 16, 2008

Our professional improvement tours vary from specific agricultural topics to diverse tours that the entire family will enjoy. Tours are planned to offer a great experience of North Carolina agriculture and culture.  Lunch and refreshments will be provided on all tours and we only have one tour with a registration fee.  We have identified tours that have age restrictions and long travel (any tour where distance to first stop is more than two hours).  All tours require some moderate walking, so wear comfortable closed toe shoes and enjoy!

We thank SARE
for their generous support
of six of our tours
as indicated below.
