Be a part of this annual South of the Sound Community Farm Land Trust farm-to-table dinner. Enjoy local products direct from our farms with each course carefully prepared by a different featured local chef(s). The dinner tickets include regional wines, cider and beer.
Early Bird tickets are just $60 each (non-member rate at $70). Want to bring a group? Sign up for a half table of 5 or a full-table of 10 and save $5 on each ticket. Your participation serves to keep farms in production and affordable to the next generation of farmers so invite your friends to join you. For those of us who are not farmers, we offer the opportunity to host two farmers at your table. Just purchase your own ticket, and then buy 1 more ticket. Due to a generous contribution by the South of the Sound Community Farm Land Trust Board of Directors, the second ticket will be free. We can select two farmers to be with you for the dinner or you can make your own connection with a couple of local farmers. Thanks to our 2016 Farms Forever Sponsors! |

"The land … willl be farmed in perpetuity, by us in this case, as long as we can, and for sure by someone else after that. The community can rest assured that this piece of property . . . will be producing food for the community, forever." |
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.
