Meet the Chefs? Nah, try Meet the Farmers  — which is exactly what Sweetwater Farm has going on today. They love their farmers — and they want you to love 'em, too, so they're hosting a meet-and-greet, followed by a tour of the farm. Think of it as the Green Acres Walking Tour. The tour includes info on what's in season, how Sweetwater operates and the ins and outs of organic ag. Meet at the fire pit, and be sure to apply bug spray and sunscreen before you arrive. Bring your own drink, wear closed shoes and yes, you can bring well-mannered, leashed dogs. Also, if you bring kids, ya gotta supervise 'em.
