Lots of them do. It sounds like you may live in an urban area. Check out your local farmer's market for a local farm organization. (In Seattle, we have one called Tilth Alliance.) They may publish a guide to all the local farms in your area, and many farmers will respond positively to, "Hey, I'd like to learn about what you do!"

Alternatively, look around your state/province for what agricultural products they produce. In Washington, for example, there are distinct farming areas for wheat, apples, cattle, etc. Go visit those small towns, post up in a coffee shop or local bar and ask the people there. Most small town folk don't mind showing around a few polite strangers from time to time (in my experience.)
