Enjoy the bounty of Clark County agriculture on Harvest Celebration Farm Tours. WSU Clark County Extension and local farms across the county invite the community to this year’s Harvest Celebration Day on Saturday, September 19.  From 10am to 3pm 11 farms will be open for the public to experience Clark County’s diverse agricultural producers and learn about life on the farm.  Connect with local farmers, buy products right from the source, see farm animals, and learn about life on the farm!

The farms on this year’s Harvest Celebration will offer a wide range of free activities for the whole family.  Yacolt Mountain Farm & Nursery will show off their draft horses working the fields, Half Moon Farm will have a Honey Harvest Celebration, White Oak Alpacas will give talks on raising alpacas, and demonstrations on shearing, spinning and skirting, and Botany Bay will offer guided tours and other festivities.  Participants will also have the chance to meet their local farmers; purchase fresh produce, U-pick, cut flowers, and other farm products; see alpacas, draft horses, chickens, goats, and other livestock; tour fruit orchards, vegetable fields and flower gardens.

This year’s Harvest Celebration will also feature two local farms that have been recognized by WSU Clark County Extension for showing a commitment to stewardship.  Compass Rose Alpacas and Conway Family Farm have been awarded a sign that reads ‘Doing Our Part for Clean Water’, for the implementing practices that protect clean water and natural resources.

Farm descriptions with maps and an events schedule are available online at extension.wsu.edu/clark/naturalresources/smallacreageprogram/ or from the Extension office in Vancouver located at 1919 NE 78^th Street.  Participating farms will be open to visitors from 10 am to 3 pm.
