Open Gate Farm Tours have been a local tradition for more than four decades.

Each year farms throughout Lehigh and Northampton counties “open their gates” to the public to help educate the community on exactly what they do.

Come discover the wide array of farms growing fruits and vegetables, making cheese and yogurt, training horses, raising alpacas and so much more. For more information, visit facebook.com/PennStateExtensionLehighCounty.
