What We Do

The San Juan Islands are home to a diverse range of direct-market vegetable and fruit producers, grain, forage and livestock farmers with unique challenges and opportunities relating to the island geography and economy.

The Washington State University San Juan County Extension Ag Program supports this vibrant farm community and food system by providing education on issues and topics important to agriculture in San Juan County.  We emphasize practical, research-based information from WSU and other educational institutions and authorities. Priorities are identified through listening sessions, surveys, program evaluations and direct contacts. We are currently conducting applied on-farm research programs in the areas of pasture management and organic pest management.
