- date: August 24, 2024
- time: 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Welcome to the first Dry Farming Fair at 21 Acres! You are invited to learn how farmers grow produce varieties that need zero irrigation and taste absolutely delicious. Dry farming is a water-smart, climate-adapted growing practice here in the PNW, and in this era of rising temperatures and extended periods of drought due to climate change, dry-farmed produce offers an important opportunity to bolster local food systems and our home gardens.
Join the 21 Acres Farm Team on the front patio for a chance to taste and compare dry-farmed and irrigated produce grown on our own farm. Meet other water resilience advocates including King Conservation District and Washington Water Trust. Plus, learn how our farmers select and save the dry-farmed tomato seeds to adapt them to our microclimate. All activities are free and open to the public.
At 1 pm, Farm Manager, Ansley Roberts, will lead a special farm tour focused on the dry farming trials here at 21 Acres, including tomatoes, squash, and dry beans – click the link to register.
This event is part of the Washington Water Resilience Farm Tour Series in partnership with the Dry Farming Institute, King Conservation District, UW Farm, Outback Farm, Oxbow Farm, American Farmland Trust, and Oregon State University.
