Dave has been instrumental in developing a regional growers’ cooperative and is an outspoken advocate for SW WA agriculture. On 270 acres\, three generations of the Fenn family have produced vegetables for local processors for 65 years; up to the time that these processors either went bankrupt\, or ceased issuing contracts to west side growers. Dave currently produces a variety of grains and seed crops as well as forage crops and beef\, and is part of a cooperative of regional producers working hard to develop viable alternatives to the processing crops once grown in the region. \nSecond Stop – Travel to Port of Chehalis\nRail Spur Transload and Grain Storage Facility Project\n2:45pm\nThe Port of Chehalis and CEO Randy Mueller have been active and essential partners in developing plans and sourcing funding for the development of a segregated grain storage and rail transload facility on Port of Chehalis property. We will roll by the proposed site\, and Randy will be on board to offer commentary on the Port’s partnership with regional growers and the project’s progress. \nThird Stop\nTravel to Tumwater Craft District \nCollaborative Craft Brewing and Distilling Development\n3:15pm\nThe Tumwater Craft District is built around South Puget Sound Community College’s Craft Brewing and Distilling Program. The collaboration between SPSCC\, Heritage Distilling Company\, and Ninkasi Brewing has allowed for a unique collaboration amongst partners at the District.
