The document discusses the growth of local agriculture in Jefferson County, Washington over the past decade. It notes that in the early 2000s, many saw agriculture in the area as dead, with just a few dairies remaining. However, today Jefferson County is recognized statewide as a successful model for local food and farms. Several farms have received national recognition in recent years. The local food economy has expanded significantly, with new farms, cideries, and programs to support farmers. The question is raised of whether the county can feed itself, and challenges around land use, food processing, and supporting local agriculture are discussed.

I
n 2002, most folks in the county
said that agriculture here was dead.
In the Chimacum Valley and on the
infamous Egg and I Road there were
three or four dairies and some livestock.
Basically, a drive through the valley
would reveal no new equipment, and
little activity in the fields. Farmers were
reluctant to have their land zoned as
agricultural, because housing develop-
ment was seen as a better option. This,
onthefinestsoils,andinanareathatcan
grow beautiful food year-round.
Today, in 2010, Jefferson County
is recognized statewide as one of the
most successful models in a new era of
local food and farms.This year alone, Mt.
Townsend Creamery, Mystery Bay Farm
andPaned’Amorebreadall receivedna-
tional recognition as best in their fields.
Local wheat – including six acres of ex-
perimentalresearch–isbeingharvested.
Schools are serving local, grass-fed beef
forlunch.Visitorssupportlocal,seasonal
menus. There are new farms, new cider-
ies, a new farm internship program, and
record sales at the Food Co-op and the
Port Townsend Farmers Market.
InJanuary,thestatehosted250work-

over 700 farmers will attend the State
Tilth Conference. And in December,
WSU,FortWorden,BonAppétit,Cascade
Harvest, and local farmers and suppliers

Coalition conference. Also, AmeriCorps
volunteers at OlyCap are raising new
gardens.
WSU “Cultivating Success” business
classes have helped 45 new business
start-ups. Local growers are working
with researchers from Organic Seed Al-
liance and WSU on a new organic seed
industry in the county. Team Jefferson
provides one-on-one business support
to food and farm businesses and Jef-
ferson LandWorks connects farmers to
land and capital.
As a community, we are coming
together as neighbors to grow commu-
nity gardens. Over 1,000 4-H youth are
learning life skills and leadership. FIELD
farm interns are working hands-on with
master/mentor farmers, and learning
theynotonlyneedtoknowaboutseeds,
but also about cash flow.
Can Jefferson County feed itself?
That’s the real question. As bridges and
ferries fail and there is increasing con-
cern about corporate food safety, there
are real local challenges.
Is there enough acreage and good
soil set aside in the county land-use
plan to ensure local food security? Is the
priority on food or housing? Can we find
waystoprocesslocalmeatandaddvalue
to food in commercial kitchens? Can we
act fast enough to protect local protein?
Shellfish? Fisheries? Large tracts of land
for wheat, grains and livestock? Is there
a willingness to pay reasonable prices
for local food?
To use water wisely? To fund pro-
grams, like WSU Extension, that have
served this community since1914 and
grown the local food economy?
When you sit down to eat your food
from your local food shed, you decide!

ByWill O’Donnell
director of PortTownsend and
Chimacum farmers markets
A
mongst the clanking and hissing
of espresso machines across the
Northwest, in the pages of the
Seattle Times and in food blogs aplenty,
people are talking about Chimacum. This
isn’t the first time Chimacum farming has
attracted attention; in the mid-1940s and
early 1950s, much of the nation knew
about a couple of small farms and their
attempts to grow food and make a living
near the Chimacum Valley. Published in
1945, the novel The Egg and I obscured
some of the particulars of place, but its
descriptions of Chimacum farm life sold
more than a million copies within the first
year of publication and launched a series
of popular films.
It’s about time for a new novel. I am
thinking of something like Eat, Hay, Love.
Maybe Crystie Kisler of Finnriver Farm
can write it, as Keith Kisler has just greatly
expanded his haying operation. It could
document the newfound pleasures of
hard work, commitment and family,
connecting a 21st-century Chimacum farm
to the world. Actually, Crystie already does
this in a wonderful blog called the
“ Fa r m w i f e D i a r i e s .” R e a d t h e
“Farmwife Diaries” at finnriver.com.
It’s fitting that the current story of
Chimacum farming be told on a blog.
For in the years since The Egg and I,
so much has changed. Agriculture in
Chimacum for much of the last 50 years
of the 20th century focused on steady
commercialization, whether it was
forestry, dairy or shellfish – the dominant
industries. By the end of the century, the
dairies were dying out and farmers were
not getting a fair return from Darigold.
Many of the farms stopped production
and only a handful of dairies are left.
When I arrived in Jefferson County,
excitement around local food had just
begun to blossom. But most of it was taking
place within Port Townsend city limits,
centered on the farmers market and the
Food Co-op. That center of excitement is
now growing and shifting south, back to
the valley. In the last few years the Port
Townsend Farmers Market has swelled with
a growing number of Chimacum farms, like
Finnriver Farm, Red Dog Farm, Sunfield
Farm,Wild Harvest Creamery, Solstice Farm,
Eaglemount Farm and more.
Chimacum agriculture is rebounding
from the brink. Look at the transformation
of the local dairy industry with the Bishop
Dairy Farm going organic and gaining the
first contract with Organic Valley on the
Peninsula. Roger Short and his son, Kevin
Short, converted their dairy operation to
grass-fed natural beef, a highly demanded
product.The picturesque Brown Dairy and
historic Glendale Farm have new futures as
economically viable agricultural operations
through working with the Jefferson County
LandWorks Collaborative – a partnership of
farmers, environmentalists and economic
development interests that work together
with landowners to help new farmers start
and maintain their agricultural business
and ensure working land is maintained as
such for perpetuity.
More transformation is under way. Two
years ago, the Chimacum Grange launched
its own Chimacum Farmers’ Market. This
year, I was part of helping it move and
grow to its new location at the Chimacum
crossroads. The market has tripled in size
with 30 vendors attending every Sunday
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., May to October.
In the fall the same crossroads location
will be home to a new store being launched
by Malcolm Dorn and Phil Vogelsang. And
as the back wall of the store says, it will
feature food from here, from Chimacum –
the heart of an ever-growing food and farm
economy of Jefferson County.

BASIC NEEDS, FIRST
DidyouknowthatinJeffersonCountyalonethereare

federal poverty level, and that, on average, 50 percent
of the kids in our schools receive free or reduced meals?
And that on any given week, 1,800 individuals receive
food from our community food banks?That is why food
security is one of our biggest concerns. Our emergency
food distribution program delivers more than 500,000
pounds of food annually to 15 food banks and feeding
programs across the peninsula, including all food banks
inJeffersonCounty.
We are happy to be a link in this essential chain; it

2010 Farm Tour Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader
9. Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader 2010 Farm Tour
By Leora Stein
FIELD Program coordinator
It is a sweltering July afternoon as I reluctantly
leave the air-conditioned comfort of my car. Looking
across the beautiful acres of SpringRain Farm and
Orchard, I can see a small group of people working
on repairing the irrigation in a field of newly planted
pear trees. As I walk towards them, passing neat rows
ofsaskatoons,boysenberriesandjostaberries,Iyellout
the sweetest words to be heard on a hot day:“C’mon
over, everyone! I’ve got popsicles!”
Inafewseconds,thetreatshavebeenhandedout
and I’m happily cooling off among seven people who
are dedicating three to five months of their lives to
learning about sustainable agriculture.
These hard-working farm interns are students of
the Jefferson County Farm Innovation, Education and
LeadershipDevelopment(FIELD)Program,ahands-on
agricultural educational course operating in its pilot
year.The FIELD Program was created by local farmers,
in collaboration with the WSU Extension of Jefferson
County, as a way for interns working on local farms to
formally learn about sustainable farming from those
who know it best – the farmers themselves.
Every Thursday, the interns learn about an ag-
ricultural topic (which could be anything, from soil
nutrition,toenterprisebudgetsandbookkeeping,to
water and irrigation systems) from a farmer at their
farm.Inthissupportive,group-learningenvironment,
FIELDinternsgainacomprehensiveunderstandingof
sustainable agriculture practices and local food sys-
temsfromawiderangeofperspectives.FIELDinterns
alsoapprenticethemselvestoonefarminparticular,
providingaplacetopracticeandrefinetheskillsthey
learn during class and, at the same time, contribute
skilled farm labor to the farm that is hosting them.
The tangible benefits to the interns of the FIELD
Program are many, but equally important is this
program’s contribution to the growing sustainable
agriculture education movement. All across the
country, universities, university extensions, col-
leges, nonprofits and farms are training the next
generation of American farmers to be successful
businesspeopleandgoodstewardsoftheland.This
isespeciallyimportantconsideringthattheU.S.De-
partment of Agriculture 2007 Census of Agriculture
reported that half of all current farmers are likely
to retire in the next decade. The FIELD Program is
working to
put our food
production
into capable
hands when
t h e t i m e
comes for
the current
generation
of farmers to throw in the hoe.

A New Crop of Farmers
By Marcia Adams
T
ucked away in the hills and valleys of
JeffersonCountyarethefoursheepfarms
that comprise the fiber-farm loop of this
year’s Farm Tour. This loop will be open from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.
Together, these four farms make an important
contribution to the economic base of the county,
aswellasaddtoourfarmingatmosphere.Through
the sales of raw fleece, spinners’ roving (don’t
know what that is? Come on the tour and find
out!), yarn, felt and other finished wool items,
these shepherds turn their wool harvest into
value-added products that contribute to a sheep
farm’s bottom line.
Each farm raises a different breed of sheep:
During the tour you will see Shetland, Border
Leicester, Jacob and Icelandic sheep. Each breed
has its own wool characteristics that are suitable
for different end-uses. Kateen Fenter at Compass
RoseFarmusesanancienttechniqueforharvesting
her Icelandic wool. Be sure to ask her about it.
Modern textiles, such as polar fleece, Tencel,
soy silk and bamboo fiber, are all manufactured
and, therefore, are dependent on the oil industry
for their creation. And they do not keep you warm
and dry like wool.
By contrast, most of the processing of the
wool products on the fiber tour is done by hand
or is custom processed at small mills likeTaylored
Fibers in Quilcene (one of the stops on our tour).
Jan Gillanders at Jacob’s Fleece hand-spins,
hand-knits and then felts some of her finished
products, all in the natural colors of her sheep.
Jennie Watkins at Ananda Hills Farm dyes some
of her fleeces using natural dyes.
Each, in their own way, contributes to the
sustainability of their farm, our county and our
planet. Not only should you buy your food locally,
buy your wool locally, as well!

A
re you interested in seeing local
farms prosper by increasing the
amount of food they produce to
feed us all? WSU Jefferson County Exten-
sion and Organic Seed Alliance (OSA) are
working together to assist local farmers
growawiderdiversityofcrops,adaptthem
for local conditions, and begin growing
and saving local seed. This year we are
partnering with seven farms in Jefferson
County, one in Island and two in Clallam
Countiestoaccomplishthosegoals. We’re
even working with local farmers to breed
some new varieties for superior perfor-
mance on our local organic farms.
Since 2008, OSA andWSU has worked
to form the North Olympic Growers
Network (NOGN), a group of vegetable
growers working together to integrate
seedproductionintotheirfarmingopera-
tions. We now have seed processing and
cleaning equipment available to those
farmers as they move into seed and grain
production. This year three of the NOGN
growersareearningsomeoftheirincome
by contracting with seed companies to
produce organic seed; others are now
selling packets of local seed at the farm-
ers market.
In 2009 we launched the Northern Or-
ganic Variety Improvement Collaborative
(NOVIC), a partnership including WSU,
OSA, Oregon State University, University
of Wisconsin and Cornell University. The
goal of the collaborative? Breed and test
varieties of corn, broccoli, carrots, peas,
and winter squash for optimum perfor-
mance on organic farms in the northern
tieroftheUS.Thissummerfivelocalfarms
are testing these five vegetable crops in
our local fields.
Growing for the fall, winter and early
springisthechallengelocalgrowerswant
tomeet,tomakelocalfoodavailableyear
around. To this end we’ve partnered with
the Food Co-op and the Jefferson County
Farmers Markets to identify which crops
growers can produce to extend their har-
vests into the cool seasons. In 2009-2010
we field tested several varieties of each
of 10 different vegetable crops, including
Swisschard,spinach,beets,collards,cilan-
tro, arugula, radicchio, escarole, endive,
and kale. Local farmers got to see which
varietieshadthebestcold-hardiness,both

early spring! In the future you’ll find more

ment right through the winter! OSA also
made some breeding selections from the

chios, and new farmer breeding projects
are just getting started with these plants
at Midori Farm, Felix Farm, and Finnriver
Farm. We look forward to lots of new

mache, turnips, endive, and radicchio.
What about the grains? Wheat, buck-
wheat, quinoa and spelt trials are under-
wayonthreelocalfarms.Dr.KevinMurphy
ofWSU is working with Finnriver,The Dry
Land Project in the Port Townsend city
limits, and Nash’s Organic Produce. Kevin
started out as a farmer right here in Port
Townsend. Now a wheat breeder atWSU,
he is bringing his expertise in small grains
backtoJeffersonCounty,bringinguslocal
bread from local grains and introducing
alternative grains into our local diets.
From testing dozens of vegetable,
grain, and cover crop varieties under the
unique challenges of Jefferson County to
training farmers in growing seed crops,
conducting on-farm plant breeding proj-
ectsanddevelopingnewlocallyadapted,
delicious, cold-hardy vegetable and grain
varieties, OSA and WSU are growing our

any hands – both small and
large – take care of Sunfield
Farm.The 81-acre conservation
farm offers community education pro-
grams and is home to a Waldorf school
comprised of 80 students in pre-kin-
dergarten through grade seven.
During the school year, the grade
school students are responsible for dai-
ly farm chores, including milking goats,
collecting and preparing eggs for sale,
working in the gardens, and tending
chickens, calves and sheep. Many
school children return in the summer
months and partake in outdoor camp
activities or work with the animals in
a 4-H program that culminates at the
Jefferson County Fair.
Farm managers Verity and Neil
Howe oversee Sunfield’s farming op-
erations, including market production,
apprenticeship training and Com-
munity Supported Agriculture (CSA)
management, and guide children and
volunteers through a multitude of
farming tasks. Sunfield Farm also hosts
a visiting-schools program that offers
students from public and independent
schools the opportunity to work with
the farm animals, tend the gardens and
learn about land stewardship.
Over 300 children visited Sunfield
Farm during the 2009-2010 school
year. Letters of appreciation received
from the students described nursing
the baby goats, holding a chicken or
finding a worm as highlights of their
visits.
Sustainable organic farming prac-
tices are essential to the mission
of Sunfield Farm. Students acquire
hands-on experience of the farm as a
self-nourishing organism by building
and distributing compost, providing
rotational grazing for the livestock
and feeding animals the grains that
have been grown on the farm. The
farm uses biodynamic farming tech-
niques that concentrate on building
soil fertility, fostering species diversity
and working in balance with nature.
The property’s wetlands and forest
serve as a purposeful, extensive cam-
pus while providing a haven for wildlife
and native species to flourish. Sunfield
Farm’s fields, wetlands and forest have
been placed in conservation with Jef-
ferson Land Trust.
