The Farm Crawl is an annual agri-tourism event, with all event proceeds going to benefit Food
Works, a local non-profit organization facilitating the development of a regional food economy in
southern Illinois. Local farmers open up their farms to share a bit of their lives with the community.
Visitors tour farms, see demonstrations, and learn about how food and other agricultural products
are produced. It is a great way to connect with the local growers that sustainably supply our region
and work hard to make it an amazing place to live.
Car passes are available for pre-order by visiting https://www.neighborhood.coop/farm-crawl. They may
also be purchased at Co-op starting Friday, August 25, 2023 at any checkout register. Don’t delay, as we
only have a limited number of passes available. This event is a self-guided tour and will require your
own transportation.
Single day car passes are $15. Visit the area of your choosing: Northwest Region or Central Region.
Multi-day (Flex) passes are $25. Use them either day (or both days) to access up to 17 local farms!
Please note: Northwest farms will tour on Saturday, September 9, ONLY. Central farms will tour on
Sunday, September 10, ONLY.
The Crawl is open from 1-6 pm on both days. When you buy a pass, you will receive an event bag,
which includes items from our sponsors, along with an event booklet guide. You can choose to pick up
your event bag at the Neighborhood Co-op or you can choose to have it shipped directly to your door if
ordered by August 23rd.
Farmers volunteer 100% of their time to help us raise funds and awareness about the food system in
our area, share the ups and downs about farming, along with vast knowledge about what they do. We
can’t thank them enough for participating in this unique experience of the sustainable food economy in
Southern Illinois.
