Local Action for a Sustainable Tomorrow

By Diane Urbani de la Paz, Peninsula Daily News

Harvest time is here, but a handful of farmers are taking time out on Monday to plant some seeds in visitors’ minds.

Nash’s Organic Produce has been chosen for a Washington State University farm walk, an exploration of how organic crops can flourish in a particular climate.

The walk, from 9:30 a.m. to noon Monday, will sample just a few of the 400 acres Nash Huber farms across the Dungeness Valley.

It’s open to community members as well as growers and those who are considering organic farming.

TO JOIN THE Washington State University farm walk on a few acres of Nash’s Organic Produce, meet at Nash’s Farm Store, 1865 E. Anderson Road, before 9:30 a.m. Monday.

The fee is $15, or $10 for members of Tilth Producers.

Walkers are urged to bring lunch, snacks, water and hats.
