YORK COUNTY, S.C. (MAY 24, 2023)— The nation’s largest free self-guided tour is back in York County for the 11th year. The Ag + Art Tour of York County will take place June 10-11, 2023, with more farms and artisans than ever before. The Ag + Art Tour began as a single county tour in York County and has grown to be a 13-county event that happens each year attracting more than 85,000 visitors since 2012. The program is recognized as a national example of rural revitalization, farm and art collaboration, farm experience, and agricultural education.
“The Ag + Art Tour of York County has grown from 11 tour sites and 25 artisans to 28 sites and more than 79 artisans in 2023,” said Melanie Cooper of the Arts Council of York County. “People from all over travel to our state to learn more about farming, the arts, and the communities they are in. Many of the farms that joined the tour in 2012 still participate today, and many of the artisans return year after year to demonstrate their craft and sell their goods."
Take a trip along York County’s country roads to visit 28 tour sites during the 2023 Ag + Art Tour. More than 79 local artisans including painters, weavers, bakers, potters, quilters, fiber and fabric artists are on location at participating tour sites during the Tour, showcasing and selling their work, creating a unique, blended visitor experience of both agriculture and art. Be sure to pack an empty cooler to fill with fresh, locally-grown produce. Many farms will host family-friendly activities including hayrides, farm tours, and opportunities to check out barnyard animals. Tour stops include family farms that cover a diverse spectrum of production including fruit and vegetable, livestock (protein, dairy, and/or fiber), on-farm distilleries/breweries, commodity crops, timber, and historical farming operations, farmers markets, and art galleries.
