The Farming for Life Station at Whatcom Farm Circl

The Farming for Life Station at Whatcom Farm Circle is a whole field trip by itself! During this station, students experienced a small taste of the wonders of this exhibit by doing a scavenger hunt. Come see the excitement for yourself by scheduling a field trip or visiting during Fair week in August. 🎡
Thank you to @nwwafair for hosting our event and to Washington Ag in the Classroom for sponsoring this station’s activities.
This concludes our overview of the 2022 Farm Circle. We want to express a sincere thank you again to all our volunteers and all the schools who attended. We are so honored to be a part of such an awesome community 🤍

Did you know that Whatcom County is a leading prod

Did you know that Whatcom County is a leading producer in three different crops? 891 third graders who attended Whatcom Farm Circle on October 25-27 did! At the Potato, Berry, and Dairy Stations, students learned that we are #1 in Red Raspberry and Seed Potato Production and in the top 10 in the nation for milk production! From seed to spoon, Whatcom Farm Circle gives a full picture of all our amazing products grown right here. 🐄🍓🥔
After the field trip students enjoyed local snacks donated by @bedlingtonfarms @enfieldfarms @edaleendairy @bellewoodfarms and @darigoldnw
Thank you to all of our enthusiastic educators who took time out of the their busy working and farming schedules to help with these stations 😊

When a recent Community Voices essay (“Understanding water rights adjudication,”
Salish Current, Oct. 5, 2022)
suggested that adjudication is the way to solve the Nooksack’s water problems and any suggestion otherwise was “fake news.” We had no other choice but to respond.

The facts show otherwise.
