— from Victoria Compton for Economic Development Council —
The San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild (Ag Guild), the San Juan County Economic Development Council (EDC), WSU San Juan County Extension and the San Juan County Agricultural Resources Committee have coordinated an initiative to connect local farms with consumers.
As part of that effort, they have created a survey to gather data on farms’ open hours, news and shopping opportunities in order to get the information to consumers. The data will be used to populate an online Local Farms Directory for San Juan County.
San Juan Islands farms are urged to sign up for a free listing here: https://forms.gle/KQD9gQAeKJ9HscVs9.
Consumers may view real-time farm hours and information here: https://bit.ly/3dbmqZl. Over the course of the next few weeks, this information will be migrated to https://islandgrownsj.com
For more information, please contact the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild at director@sjiagguild.com or the San Juan County Economic Development Council at info@sanjuansedc.org.
