Join the Kitsap Community & Agricultural Alliance (KCAA), in partnership with the Washington State Beekeepers Association, for a very special class focusing on Kitsap County Pollinators & the Basics of Pollination. This event will take place on Tuesday, August 6th from 5-8pm at Pheasant Fields Farm in Silverdale, WA.
Sandy Fanara is a Certified Master Beekeeper through Washington State Beekeepers Association and Master Beekeepers of Washington State. In this class, she will be leading us through the basics of flowering plant history, the biology of pollinators and their co-evolution with flowering plants. She’ll focus on Kitsap County-specific pollinators and their modes of pollination, as well as action plans for encouraging pollinator abundance and variety on Small Farms!
Since 2010, Sandy has taught beekeeping classes and provided pollinator support in Washington Beekeeping clubs, five Western Washington prisons, and a variety of agricultural clubs. She serves on the Washington State Beekeepers Association Education Committee and is dedicated to curriculum and teacher development. We are thrilled to be partnering with her and the WA S.B.A for this FREE class!

** This class is one part of an in-person series of social networking events offered by the Kitsap Community & Agricultural Alliance (KCAA), with support from WSU Kitsap Extension. These networking opportunities will run from May through January 2025 with the goal of bringing Kitsap Farmers together to network, build community, create new business connections and friendships, and provide education and mentoring opportunities. The events will give farmers in Kitsap a venue for peer-to-peer discussion, and encourage them to become more connected as a farming community.
