The 18th Annual Clallam County Farm Tour is being held on Saturday, October 4th from 10– 4 This year’s theme is “Farming for our Future,” with each stop on the tour featuring displays and activities about the ABCs of preserving our local farm culture: Adapting to climate change, fostering Beginner farmers, and Conservation of farmland. Olympic Climate Action is supporting the event by providing a Farm Tour bike map and hosting WSU Jefferson Extension director Dr. Laura Lewis, who will be giving short talks about farming in a changing climate. The tour showcases eight amazingly diverse farms, including organic lavender, u-cut flower, vegetable, and raw milk dairy farms, as well as a cattle farm and riding school, organic orchard and tree farm, a sheep farm with herding dogs, and a school with a budding farm program. There will be fun for adults and children alike: farm-fresh food, live music, and lots of family activities at just $10 per carload. Visit clallam.wsu.edu for a list of participating farms and activities and a printable farm tour map. The tour is sponsored by WSU Clallam County Extension and the North Olympic Land Trust. Come spend the day out on the farms!
