How was your Farm Tour day? »

Farm Tour: breaking news

For those of you that will spend a sunny day tomorrow touring and tasting your way through Whatcom’s farmland, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Your tour guide can be found tucked inside this week’s Take Five, or in the Cascadia Weekly, or HERE.
  • Don’t forget to visit Edelweiss Dairy and get a sneak peek inside a farm not normally open to the public.
  • The trek to Heritage Lane Farm in Lynden will be totally worth it.  Some of their animal breeds are at risk of extinction!
  • Remember that the Lummi ferry is passenger only…but there will be a shuttle to greet you on the other side!
  • Bellewood Acres and Silver Springs Creamery are right next to each other.  Don’t visit one without stopping at the other.
  • Note that there are only a few places you can cross the Nooksack, and they are marked on your tour map!
  • Please consider making a donation at any tour stop so that there will be another tour in 2010!

And, most importantly, have a super fun day!
