Back road art, food and farm tours
are receiving lots of attention in Michigan. The Arts
and Eats Tour began as a means to raise awareness
and appreciation for the region’s natural resources, rural areas, land,
forests, and villages/towns. Their goal is to educate people about the benefits
of purchasing locally grown foods; supporting local artists; and learning the
connections between restaurants, farmers and local foods.
This is a great idea for us in
Louisiana; we could lure the urban visitor to the countryside to take advantage
of learning about food, fiber and art.
