Discover how agritourism can help your small farm thrive. Join Paul Schiefen, co-owner of Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm and Farm and Food Business Development Program Manager at the North Olympic Development Council, for a behind-the-scenes tour of a working farm that has built a strong, diversified agritourism model over the past two decades.

This practical, hands-on class will explore proven strategies for adding on-farm income through events, animal experiences, you-pick operations, farm stays, processing demos, and more.

Presented by the North Olympic Development Council and the WSU Regional Small Farms Program, this session is designed specifically for small farm owners looking to diversify, attract visitors, and build long-term sustainability through engaging customer experiences.

This class is for farmers in Clallam, Jefferson, and Kitsap Counties. Not open to the general public.

This program is funded in part by an award from the USDA Rural Business Development Grant program. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.
