Lewisburg Food & Farm Tour

The Lewisburg Food & Farm Tour offers a half-day immersion into the agricultural traditions and artisan food culture of Greenbrier County in southeastern West Virginia. The tour begins at the Greenbrier Valley Farmers Market at 206 Randolph St E in Lewisburg, where participants explore seasonal stalls showcasing local honey, heritage vegetables, handmade preserves, and farm-fresh eggs from producers throughout the Greenbrier Valley. The market segment is led by a local food specialist who highlights the relationships between Lewisburg's restaurants and the family farms supplying them, drawing attention to the distinctive micro-climate of the Allegheny Mountains that allows Greenbrier County to produce a diversity of crops unusual for the West Virginia highlands.

Following the market visit, the tour moves to at least one working farm in the surrounding countryside, giving participants a firsthand look at production methods behind the artisan cheeses, heritage-breed meats, and seasonal vegetables that define the region's farm-to-table identity. A cheese tasting at a local creamery is a signature element of the itinerary, typically featuring aged raw-milk varieties and soft fresh cheeses made from the milk of pasture-raised animals. The savory orientation of the farm and market segments is balanced by a seasonal farm lunch prepared from produce sourced at that morning's market, demonstrating farm-to-table cooking in a Greenbrier Valley context.

A stop at the Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company rounds out the four-hour circuit, introducing participants to West Virginia's growing craft beer scene alongside the agricultural theme. The $75 per person price covers the farmers market visit, farm access and guided tour, cheese tasting, craft brewery stop, and the seasonal farm lunch. Transportation between farm sites is not included, and guests should have access to a vehicle or arrange carpooling for the farm visit segment. Tours operate primarily from May through October to coincide with peak farmers market season, though off-season visits can sometimes be arranged through the Greenbrier Valley CVB. Groups are typically small to ensure quality access at farm stops, and the pace is relaxed and conversational. Dietary substitutions can be accommodated with advance notice given the farm-to-table character of the menu.
