Two of our newer gardens gave it their all on the 2024 Farm Tour. The FairWinds garden began only this April and has all 6000 square feet planted. Salish Coast has been in existence for 1.5 years and is closing in on 3000 pounds of food in 2024. Salish also showcased the Farm-to-School operations in all three districts.


If you couldn't make it, here are a couple slide shows of the highlights.
