Clements Cherry Orchard Joins ‘Round the Mountain Community Loop Trail
Clements Cherry Orchard in Ararat, Virginia, became the latest in a number of trail sites scheduled to be featured on Patrick County’s Community Loop Trail. This project, part of ‘Round the Mountain’s ongoing efforts to promote artisans and tourism in Southwest Virginia, features farms and agri-tourism as well as artists and crafters.
Patrick County’s Community Loop Trail brochure, a project of Patrick County’s Tourism Advisory Council with support from the Patrick County Chamber of Commerce, is nearly completed and ready to go to the printer. 10,000 copies will be distributed at welcome centers throughout Virginia and at Heartwood, the new artisans’ center in Abingdon. Clements Cherry Orchard is included on this brochure because of their membership in ‘Round the Mountain and their farm is also listed on the ‘Round the Mountain web site at http://www.roundthemountain.org. Tourists will be able to visit the web site and find the many attractions of Patrick County, along with artisan studios, historical sites, B & B businesses and agri-tourism activities.
