Visit Blue Grass Tours to register. This special tour is offered to highlight the importance of land conservation practices and “going green” in the preservation of our unique agricultural heritage in Central Kentucky.
Experience first-hand the benefits of land conservation, green farming practices and sustainable agriculture to the Bluegrass. Visit two Thoroughbred horse farms, one of our premier vineyards and end your day at a state-of-the-art equine veterinary facility. Tour Blackburn Farm, one of Kentucky’s oldest Thoroughbred nurseries, now part of a critical mass of conservation easement-protected farm land. Go behind the gates at Three Chimneys Farm, a pioneer in green farming, and meet their world-renowned stallions. Enjoy a wine tasting at Equus Run Vineyards, which produces award-winning wines with minimal environmental impact. Finally, visit Hagyard Equine Medical Institute and explore their extensive campus, including their new Sport Horse Soundness Facility. Proceeds of this tour benefit Bluegrass Conservancy, the Equine Land Conservation Resource and The Fayette Alliance.
