This spring, I finally made it to the Piedmont Farm Tour—a weekend-long event that takes you behind the gates of local farms across central North Carolina. From bison pastures and baby goats to artisan cheese and mushroom grow rooms, we explored it all. Whether you’re dreaming of having land someday or just love discovering good food and meaningful places, this post is full of local gems, simple joys, and moments that made the weekend unforgettable.
