Preston County Farm Crawl
The Preston County Farm Crawl is a self-guided adventure through the heart of Preston County’s local agriculture scene. Every weekend in July, visitors can explore a variety of locally owned and operated farms and producers offering sustainable vegetables, meats, spirits, flowers, and plant-based products. Farm Crawls give guests a unique behind-the-scenes look at agricultural businesses that may not typically have regular visiting hours. This free event, held in partnership with the West Virginia Department of Agriculture, is the perfect opportunity to connect with local growers, discover the beauty of farm life, and celebrate Preston County’s thriving agricultural community.
