Get ready for a day of homegrown fun! Step into the heart of the Georgian Bluffs farming community with Georgian Bluffs first ever Farm Crawl — a self-guided, family-friendly driving tour of local farms, farm stands, and homesteads across the Township.

This interactive experience is all about discovering the diversity of agriculture in Georgian Bluffs while connecting with the people behind it. From goats to lavender, bison to baked goods, you'll find a bit of everything on the trail — with plenty of opportunities to shop for fresh, local products.

To help you navigate, we’ve created an Interactive Farm Crawl Map (link below), along with a handy Farm Crawl Passport (coming soon) you can bring along. Think of the Passport as your guidebook, game card, and memory keeper all in one. At each stop, you’ll receive a unique hole punch. Visit all locations and return your completed Passport to enter a draw for one of our Bluffs Baskets — filled with local goodies!

You can print the Passport at home or pick one up at any participating location.
