— from San Juan County Land Bank —

We have a short-term lease in place [at Orcas Island’s Coffelt Farm Preserve]. Eric and Amy Lum’s operation is flourishing. The farmstand is open Thursday – Saturday. Please stop by!

Through this fall and winter we will assess infrastructure needs and carry out a number of projects, including upgrades to the water and electrical systems, a heavy use area and a lot of fencing. We are also working on our Preserve Management plan and expect to have a public meeting later in the fall.

Additionally, we have a committee researching long-term options for managing the property. Their work will likely continue well into 2020.
