To the Editor:

We’re writing to tell you about a wonderful event that is taking place this weekend. It’s the annual Heldeberg Hilltowns Farms and Artisans Tour — featuring the food and fiber producers, artists and crafters of the towns of Berne, Knox, Westerlo, and Rensselaerville.

The self-guided tour allows folks to visit many of the family-owned farms and artisan studios that dot the Hilltowns, on Saturday, Sept. 19, and Sunday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

A map and a list of participating farms and artisans, along with schedules and additional information are available at: http://www.hilltowns.org/farms-and-artisans-tour.html
