Take a Free Tour of Warren County!
Warren County Ag TourLooking for a free, fun-filled, family activity during the beautiful fall season in Kinzua Country?

Mark your calendars for October 18 as the perfect time to get out and explore some of Warren County’s agricultural businesses. The 2nd annual Family Farm Tour is designed for the public to experience agriculture up close and personal via self-guided farm tours.

Participants can go to one of five Public Libraries of Warren County: Sugar Grove, Sheffield, Tidioute, Youngsville, or Warren to pick up a brochure. Included in the brochure will be the names and locations of the participating agribusinesses. A brief description of each business will be given to help participants decide which businesses interest them the most. Maps and directions will also be provided so it will be easy to find all of the locations and stops.

After picking up the maps and directions, you are all set to begin the journey of exploring some of Warren County’s agribusinesses! While there will be a recommended path of travel, you are free to explore the businesses in whatever order you choose. Simply stop at the participating businesses to experience a guided tour of the facilities. The owners or volunteers will be available to guide you and answer any questions.

Please respect the farms and the owners and only visit during the hours of 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, October 18.

This is a great Saturday activity for the whole family to enjoy. Get off the beaten path as you travel and explore some of the back roads of Warren County. Bring a picnic lunch and eat at one of the local parks. With spectacular fall colors and stunning scenery, this rural road trip is your chance to experience Warren County at its finest.

The “Family Farm Tour” is sponsored by Penn State Extension, the Future of Ag Task Force, and local producers.
