The Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture, or PASA, has announced the area farms you can visit on the second Summer Farm Tour from noon to 5 p.m. on July 26.

It's a big one: You can tour 13 different farms in Allegheny and surrounding counties that raise food using sustainable practices.

Several farms will have products for sale and will answer questions as they show you around, while others will offer activities, such as the chance to pick your own vegetables and watch wheat be ground into flour at the Morris Farm in Irwin.

Rob Shenot says he plans to lead a tour around his family's Shenot Farm in Marshall -- with tour-goers in a hay wagon.

At Kaelin Farms & Market in Franklin Park, where they're just starting to pick peaches and visitors can buy fresh peach pie and milkshakes and smoothies, Ellen Kaelin says they're planning to also give each tour-goer a fresh peach. "Then we're going to pass out paper towels," she adds with a laugh.

This year's farms are:

• Blackberry Meadows Farm, Natrona Heights

• Dillner Family Farm, West Deer

• Eichner's Farm, McCandless

• Harvest Valley Farms, Valencia

• Jamison Farm, Latrobe

• Kaelin Farms & Market, Franklin Park

• Janoski's Farm & Greenhouse, Clinton

• McConnells' Farm, Hopewell

• Morris Farm, Irwin

• Shenot Farm, Marshall

• Simmons Farm, Peters

• Soergel Orchards & Greenhouses, Franklin Park

• Triple B Farms, Forward

You can find the list of farms and their descriptions and maps by clicking on the Western Pennsylvania region at buylocalpa.org. Map brochures will be provided at each of the farms when you buy your farm tour pass, which costs $10 for a carload. That gets you into as many farms as you can hit.

You probably can't get to them all in one day. PASA suggests aiming for a cluster of three or four, and taking bicycles so you can leave your car at the first farm and pedal among the rest.

Definitely do bring a cooler, so you can bring home perishable comestibles, everything from eggs to lamb chops. Or sign up for a Community Supported Agriculture subscription.

Other tips include:

• Wash your, and your kids', hands after touching animals.

• Leave the pets at home.

• "Please remember that you are a guest on the farms, which are also people's residences. Please be courteous!"

Proceeds benefit PASA, which says it wants tour-goers to get "an understanding of how critical local and organic food systems are to preserving rural and urban landscapes in Southwestern Pennsylvania." For more information about the group, visit pasafarming.org.
