CLFT ANNUAL MEETING CANCELLED
Dear friends,
After careful consideration we have decided to postpone our Annual Meeting (the best potluck in town) scheduled next Friday, March 13 from 6pm-8pm at the Thurston County Fairgrounds.
Due to the coronavirus outbreak and the likelihood that the risk of exposure will increase, we feel this is the responsible action to take. We deeply regret any inconvenience this cancellation may cause, but the health and safety of our members, staff, and volunteers are of the utmost importance.
We still need to complete some official CFLT business, and the good news is that we can do this online. Please keep an eye out for an email on Friday, March 13 with voting information, the latest news on what we’ve been up to, our good financial position, and an opportunity to renew or become a member.
Stay healthy and thank you for your support.
Best regards,
Patrick Rofe
Executive Director

Our Mission: Promoting vibrant local food and farming systems through community supported farmland preservation strategies, educational outreach, and partnerships that increase opportunities for farms and farmers to flourish.
Our Vision: Abundant, productive, sustainable local farmland providing healthy food for our community and contributing to a vibrant, viable farm economy.

From a 1 acre urban garden that produces over 10,000 pounds of food a year to hundred acre parcels associated with dairies or livestock production, Thurston county has – and needs – a diversity of farms and farmers. Farmland provides local foods, local economies, and open space. Future plans for the county define how many new roads, sewers, and schools will be needed, but what about farmland? As Thurston County continues to grow, development pressure on farmland will only increase.
