FARM TOUR CENTRAL
Hello Chimacum Corner Community!
The Jefferson County Farm Tour is swift approaching, and we couldn’t be more chipper about it! On September 13th and 14th, the Farmstand transforms into “Farm Tour Central.” There will be a booth at the head of our Entryway dedicated to orienting folks to the Tour. The Production Alliance and the WSU Jefferson County Extension have done a great job organizing the tour this year, around the theme of “local food resilience and security.” With the amount of small farms we have in our county, we feel extremely grateful to have such a skilled and courageous band of producers. Farm Tour is a chance to lend great support to the smallest of farms, an agricultural “shop small” moment if you will. For many of the 15 host farms on the tour, it is one of the biggest weekends of their season! Also, a cool new feature of Farm Tour this year is a schedule of workshops being hosted at the various farm sites! Woodfired pizza making (ticket required), vermicompost, wool processing, beekeeping, floral arranging, and more!
With that in mind, we are here to give you the rundown, load you up with some road snacks, and send you on your way! The valleys are calling, it’s harvest season y’all!
