Wed., November 4th, 2020; 7 p.m.–Annual Farmers RoundTable
Gaining Ground
The fourth annual Farmers Roundtable will be held Wednesday, November 4th, 7 p.m., virtually via Zoom, as part of the on-going series of Community Education programs presented by the Sammamish Valley Grange in Woodinville. These popular Roundtables gather our local farmers and resident gardeners, both long-term producers and seasonal growers, to share knowledge on a variety of discussion topics. This free, virtual Zoom presentation will present an opportunity to engage with each other on the challenges from the year, including Covid-19 protocols and restrictions, along with pertinent issues related to soil health, pest control, equipment access, new technologies and of course, improvements and approaches to look forward to throughout the 2021 growing season.

Everyone is welcome to attend the program and meet those who are committed to bringing local food into our community. Due to the engaging conversation and the popularity of previous Roundtables, this program could extend past the usual 8 p.m. close. Please join the incubator, student and experienced farmers in the Sammamish Valley and connect and network with other farmers and growers in the area. Please register in advance for this free program; a Zoom link will be provided upon registration. Click here to register; you’ll receive a return e-mail with the Zoom link.
Programs are currently offered virtually on Zoom. December activities will be announced soon.
