Where Cows Meet Clams is a project designed to help farmers and forest landowners, and those interested in becoming farmers and/or forest landowners, build longevity and success with their resource businesses while protecting important natural assets using tools, trends and practices that have been demonstrated to work. The project is also designed to build on existing buy local trends in the Snoqualmie Valley and develop new, experiential tourism ways to support Snoqualmie Valley farms and forests.
Workshops held in February and early March provided an integrated, hands-on approach to operating a successful and sustainable farm or forest. The holistic approach will combine stewardship, succession planning and marketing/ economic development that taps into trends in restoration, buy-local and experience-based tourism.
Three additional evening sessions will delve more deeply into key topics introduced during the farm and forest landowner workshops. The topics include: stewardship practices, succession planning and marketing.
All workshops will be held at Camp Korey in the Alpine Room, 6-9pm. Registration is $15 on Brown Paper Tickets and covers the cost of workshop materials and light refreshments.
March 12 Stewardship Intensive / BPT Event #352029
Take the plunge and protect your property, water quality, and fish and wildlife habitat. Attend this workshop to design a stream or wetland native plant restoration plan. Calculate the length and cost of fencing to keep animals out of aquatic areas, select native plants suited to stream and wetland buffers, determine plant placement, and outline a maintenance plan.
There are times when land development projects on your farm can trigger the need to make stewardship enhancements on your property. This can include installation or enhancement of buffers. Learn the role buffers play in overall watershed health and in the permitting process. For example, what is required when siting an agricultural structure (barn or farm pad) in a buffer of a stream or wetland. What do you need to consider when establishing or enhancing a buffer, what technical assistance does the County provide?

Joshua Monaghan, King Conservation District

March 26 Marketing Intensive / BPT Event #352145
Get into the nitty-gritty of marketing, economic development and tourism opportunities for your farm or forest. Using hands-on approaches, we'll work on marketing plans, storytelling, on-the ground 'how to' of social media with Julie Stiel from River Valley Cheese and training on how to work with media with Liz Banse of Resource-Media.
You've probably heard countless times that "a picture is worth a thousand words." It's true and it should be the guiding philosophy for your marketing: from direct consumer outreach to business storytelling to social media to reporter outreach. During this workshop session Liz Banse will take you from theory to practice on visual communications. Julie Steil will discuss her effective use of social media as a landowner, and Calyx Sustainable Tourism will address tourism trends, experiential tourism opportunities, marketing mechanics, web and writing considerations, and a self-assessment to determine where you are on the continuum of farm and forest tourism opportunities.

Heidi Siegelbaum & Steve Gersman, Calyx Sustainable Tourism
