This October marks the 4th semi-annual Frederick County Homesteaders Farm Crawl event. What began as a vision to directly connect our FredCo. farming community with families and local businesses in the area has blossomed into a highly anticipated, recurring event that has fostered a deeper relationship between farmers and consumers and helped revitalize local agriculture in Frederick County, Virginia. Fall activities in Virginia abound, discover what makes this Fall's Farm Crawl unique below.

Crawlers will enjoy a day of fun meandering through idyllic farms, getting to know our hardworking farmers, meeting our friendly animals, and shop local products ranging from fresh produce to handcrafted goods. You’re sure to cherish the memories you’ll make with your family and friends during this unique opportunity.
