The Community Farm Land Trust is seeking artists for art submissions for the cover of the 2026 Fresh from the Farm Guide (FFTFG). The FFTFG is an 88 page publication full of all your food and farm needs. This guide supports the work that our regional farmers are doing and showcases the best ways to purchase, connect, and find their products and services while highlighting the diversity of our local farms and the richness of our agricultural lands in the South Sound. We have various guides for Products and Services, CSAs, Farmers Markets, and Food Banks while trying to shine a light on important nutrition assistance programs and more! We produce our guide annually each year and distribute in a four county region that includes Grays Harbor, Mason, Lewis, and Thurston counties. We plan to distribute 14,000-15,000 copies in our four county region in 2026.

Artist Biography-Dennis GoughDennis Gough has roots in Washington State going back to the 1890s. Born in Fort Lewis as an Army dependent, Dennis saw much of the world and later as a soldier himself, In Vietnam. After attending Western Washington State University via the GI Bill, Dennis had careers in radio and social services. During much of this time, Dennis had a small farm raising Boer goats and alfalfa...as well as his family.
