The Chatham County Center of the N.C. Cooperative Extension is hosting its last Farm Show & Tell of the year tonight.

The tour happens from 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. at the Piedmont Biofarm in Pittsboro. The tour will include cool weather crops, season extension techniques, 10 varieties of sweet potato, Jerusalem artichokes, about 100 varieties of peppers and more. 

No registration is needed. But the tour will start promptly at 4:30 p.m. and will happen rain or shine. 

To get to the Biofarm from downtown Pittsboro, take Highway 64 east, go about one mile and turn right onto Industrial Park Drive. Follow this road until it becomes a gravel road, and turn left on Lorax Lane and park outside the gate of the Piedmont Biofuels Industrial Plant. Walk through the gate and stay to the left where you will see the farm.
