An annual spring tradition was held in Miami County this past weekend. Miami County farms opened their doors, gates and barns for the annual Spring Farm Tour. The weather was absolutely perfect and big crowds were out and about. Visitors had a taste of the rural life of eastern Kansas, and offered an inside look at farm life with interactive educational opportunities set within the region’s natural beauty. The tour consisted of a self-guided, 13 farm stops.
The farm tour offers families an opportunity to spend time outdoors enjoying the more rural aspects of Miami County. Each site offered educational activities, and a chance to see all kinds of animals ranging from alpacas to hereford cattle and bison. Most stops offered picnic and rest area amenities. Several stops had products for sale and visitors loaded up on cheese, pecans, fresh vegetables, honey, wine and several types of meat.
