Washington FarmLink works statewide to connect aspiring farmers and landowners and help build sustainable farming operations. FarmLink helps ensure that working farms remain in agricultural production and helps facilitate the transition of farms to the next generation by connecting people with the resources and technical expertise necessary to achieve their farming goals by offering:
- a farmer/landowner matching service;
- educational workshops;
- a comprehensive one-stop resource center; and
- one-on-one assistance.
Washington FarmLink is a program of Cascade Harvest Coalition, a non-profit that connects farmers to farmers, eaters, and markets. To learn more visit, www.cascadeharvest.org
This workshop is sponsored by Cascade Harvest Coalition/WA FarmLink with a grant from the USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant Program and support from WSU Extension. Many thanks to workshop hosts, WSU Snohomish County Extension.
