The Roanoke Foodshed Network, the Virginia Associa

The Roanoke Foodshed Network, the Virginia Association for Biological Farming, and Partners present our March Farm Tour and Farmer Social with Smoke In Chimneys!

Thursday, March 20, 3:00-6:00pm
22499 Cumberland Gap Rd, New Castle, VA 24127

Free! Please register to join: https://tinyurl.com/marchRFNfarmtour

Smoke In Chimneys is a revitalized 1930s trout hatchery owned by Ty and Shannon Walker in New Castle, VA. They hatch, raise, process, and distribute trout for table fare to restaurants, co-ops, stores, and individuals around the state. The trout are raised in a gravity-fed earth-pond system that is supplied with water by a covered artesian spring near the ponds. Along with the many flies, nymphs, and bugs in the natural pond system, the trout are fed a high-quality, non-GMO ration. Smoke In Chimneys is raising fish the same way they were raised at that location almost 100 years ago and producing a quality of trout matched only by those caught in the wild.Join us for a tour of the farm with a social to follow. Light refreshments will be provided and feel free to bring something to share.

For more information, contact Becki DeRusseau at becki.derusseau@vabf.org.

Detailed directions will be shared with registrants.
