Newport RI, The SVF Foundation, 152 Harrison Avenue, will hold its annual Visitors Day on Saturday from 9 am. - 3 p.m.
Visitors are invited to take self-guided tours through the historic 23 acre former Swiss Village farm, where germplasm (semen & embryos) from rare and endangered breeds of food and fiber livestock is cryogenically preserved, and meet laboratory, veterinary and animal care staff.
Because of its strict biosecurity, SVF is not typically open to the public.
New this year, Julian's Omnibus, a double-decker food truck, will serve burgers and other food made with local heritage bred meat and farm products.
Admission is free, free parking will be available at Fort Adams State Park and free transportation will be provided by Viking Trolley. There will be no parking available at SVF.
For more information, contact Jill DeLeo at 848-7229 Ext: 10, or jill@svffoundation.org or visit svf-foundation.org
