The Fresh from the Farm Guide

The Community Farm Land Trust (CFLT) publishes the Fresh from the Farm Guide every year as part of our mission to support local food and agriculture. This is a free educational resource for underserved populations and residents from our entire region to learn where to find local, affordable, fresh and healthy foods through CSAs, farm stands, markets, food banks, as well as nutritional incentive and matching programs available in our four county region of Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, and Thurston Counties. We are able to keep this as a free resource to our community through grants, sponsorships, advertisements, and fundraising campaigns that help to pay for distribution and printing costs. ​

​Our guide helps to highlight the importance of farming and agriculture in our local economy.

  • By listing your farm in our guide you can help us show the magnitude of farms, food processing and agricultural-related businesses in our area and how it impacts our local economies.
  • By increasing awareness of the importance of local agri-business, we can leverage tax dollars and support from local leaders for more assistance and aide to local farms which is the heart of CFLT's work to support the preservation of a vibrant local farm economy.​
