FARM WALKS ARE BACK !
After a two-year hiatus, we are excited to announce that in-person Farm Walks are back for the 2022 season. These farmer-to-farmer educational opportunities are guided walk-and-talk style tours at organic, sustainable, and innovative farm and food businesses throughout Washington State. Each Farm Walk highlights our farmer hosts and their unique expertise and experiences. Beginning and experienced farmers gain education, advice, and mentorship from these farmers, as well as agricultural and food systems professionals, and WSU Extension Specialists.
