Winter Crops of the Skagit Valley
With the top 2% of soil quality in the world, coupled with a mild, maritime climate, the Skagit Valley hosts year-round production of crops that thrive in cooler temperatures. Discover the tools farmers use to not only extend the growing season, but drive harvests in months we would not generally anticipate, such as December and January.
On January 7th, join GSV director Blake Van Roekel and WSU Skagit County Extension director Don McMoran as we tour two Skagit farms; Boldly Grown Farm and Hedlin’s Family Farm. Each farm holds a distinguished foothold in Skagit’s lauded diversified vegetable production. Guests will embark on the chartered tour at 1:00 pm from the WSU Skagit County Extension at 11768 Westar Lane, Burlington, WA. The tour will conclude at 4:00 pm. Cost is $45 and includes transportation and tasting bites. Space is limited and each tour has sold out – register early!
We thank the WSDA Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, Skagit County and WSU Skagit County Extension for their 2024 support of Genuine Skagit Valley’s Farm Tour & Tasting series.
