For the sixth year, Tilth Producers of Washington and Washington State University's Small Farms Team are offering a series of educational Farm Walks for growers. Farm Walks bring growers and agricultural specialists together to learn on working farms across Washington. 

Monday July 13 – Let Us Farm, Oakville
Organic Mixed Vegetable Production and Farmer Transition,
12:30pm-4pm
Steve Hallstrom and Cecelia Boulais have converted a defunct 80-acre dairy on the Chehalis River to a productive organic mixed vegetable farm. Produce is sold through farmers markets and the Olympia Food Cooperative. Steve and Cecelia strive for sustainability through utilizing summer and winter cover crops and field rotations; conservation tree planting and habitat strips. Tour the greenhouses, hoop houses and fields. See innovative farmer housing including a converted silo, milk-tank suite and dining parlor. In partnership with Cascade Harvest Coalition’s FarmLink Program, Steve and Cecelia will share how they “grow farmers,” and discuss their plan to transition the operation to the next generation.
