BLYTHEWOOD – Farmers, painters, potters, weavers, quilters, musicians, storytellers, bakers and other local artisans will be featured in the annual S.C. Ag + Art Tour, which comes to Richland County – and Blythewood – June 8-9. Farms will be open for visitors from 9a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
Now in its 13th year, the Ag + Art Tour — a free, self-guided farm tour – seeks to educate people about where their food and fiber products come from while introducing them to local artisans. For purposes of the tour, artisans – who will be on hand at each farm site – are those who hand-craft products without using kits or commercial models and whose primary components are not manufactured.
