F16B8 Agritouring: Finding the Sources of Our Food

In this course we will learn about the sources of our food and the processes involved in getting the food from the farm to our tables. There will be many opportunities to sample products. Our class will likely visit Polyface Farms in Swoope, White Oak Lavender Farm in Cross Keys, Project Grows in Verona, Showalter's Orchard in Broadway, and Swover Creek Farms in Woodstock. We will meet at a central meeting place and carpool to the various locations.

Instructor: Nate Miller is a professor of horticulture at Piedmont Virginia Community College. He is a landscape designer who is authoring his own book on sustainable landscaping. He has a BA in Art with a concentration in Environmental Science from Bridgewater College and a master's degree in Landscape Architecture from Clemson University.
