See what’s behind the barn doors at the 2016 San Juan County Farm Tours!
Tours offer a unique opportunity to visit three dozen farms, shellfish hatcheries, and value added businesses on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan Islands.
Tickets are now on sale at this site. Tour dates are September 24-25th on San Juan Island, October 2nd on Orcas Island , and October 8-9th on Lopez Island. The Farm Tours offer a unique opportunity to visit farms, meet farmers, taste locally grown foods, learn skills and understand more about the challenges and opportunities of farming in San Juan County. Join together with community, tour attendees and farmers to feast on the bounty of local harvest.
Each island offers unique opportunities over three weekends. Highlights include a walk in an Edible Food Forest, taste and talk about locally grown heritage grains baked in delicious pastries, sheep dog demonstrations, a visit to farms that use horse drawn equipment, tours of oyster shellfish hatcheries, an after tour soiree and Grange Dinner featuring delicious local foods, a visit to local certified goat dairy, and so much more! Fun for everyone. Join us to meet the farmers and learn about farming in the lovely San Juan Islands.
