Past Events

The annual SAMMAMISH VALLEY FARMERS ROUNDTABLE was held in November 2025, at the Grange Hall in Woodinville.

Bringing together our broad community— farmers, gardeners, organization liaisons, local eaters— the evening provided an opportunity to offer ideas, share concerns, and be visionary in our thinking toward a sustainable, healthy, and equitable food and farming future.

A light supper was served and discussion centered around future farming activities, farmer and community engagement and priorities in the upcoming legislative session supporting climate-smart agriculture and our local food economy. Thank you to all the participants, Grange members, community residents, along with a special thank you to Representative Larry Springer, for support of our local farmers.

Local greens, sprigs and branches were harvested in advance and completed wreaths were made available to the public through advance on-line orders. Partial proceeds of wreath sales benefited Sammamish Valley Alliance. All wreaths were sold to our supportive community members. Thank you for sharing the spirit of the season and for supporting our local organizations.
