The Savor the Flavor Fall Farm Tours has events remaining on Orcas and Lopez. New this year, admission is free.

“We took away the barrier of admission so people of all economic backgrounds can come meet their local farmers, taste and learn about their neighbor farmers, and help support a local healthy food system,” said Ag Guild Director, Steph Coffey.

Each island has a schedule of family-friendly events, tastings and a self-guided tour that showcases what makes agriculture in the San Juans so unique. The public is invited to join breakfasts hosted by farmers, movies, speaking events and more. Maps and information are available at https://islandgrownsj.com. Some farms are open both days and some only one. Start anywhere you like. And don’t forget to bring a cooler to store your farm fresh goodies in.
