Agriculture and Food Resilience on Whidbey Island

Agriculture and Food Resilience on Whidbey Island

As an island, we face unique challenges in ensuring food security. As an island community, we have unique opportunities too. Natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, and environmental pressures on the soil, the water, the seasons, the critters, and what comes from the sky are squeezing the industrialized agriculture model. But our small Whidbey Island community can learn and collaborate; together, we can create a stronger and more diversified local food system that will minimize the effect of external shocks, support the life systems around us, and fortify our capacity to feed ourselves.

Jake Stewart of Sweetwater Farm will lead us in conversation about the critical role of regenerative agriculture, diversified small farms, and sustainable technologies in building a resilient food system on Whidbey Island. We can reduce reliance on imported food...mitigate the effects of natural disasters ... adapt to climate change ... support the local economy ... innovate, and empower the small.

Join Whidbey Climate ACTION on November 7 for this free event, and take part in practical and uplifting conversations about creating more sustainable and abundant food security and resilience on Whidbey.

Bayview Farmers Market

Since 2000, Whidbey Island’s farmers, crafters, and makers have gathered each week to provide our community with locally grown food, delicious prepared foods, hand-made goods, and a place to gather as a community - allowing market-goers to connect with their farmers, local craftsfolk, and one another. Through the years we have shared countless memories; you’ve moved with us around Bayview Corner, listened to local performances each week, found the perfect mug to go with your freshly baked croissant, and gotten a second helping of Lumpia just because.

With the start of our 24th year upon us, we are inviting community members, new and old, to come out and see what’s new! We have 11 new vendors, more food options than ever before, and our artisans have been working so hard over the winter to bring you the best of the best! Come on out, meet your farmers, and say hi to your neighbors each Saturday from 10 - 2pm.

To prune well, you need both technical knowledge and a sense of artistry. In this class we’ll cover everything you need to know in order to prune correctly, and how that bears upon the artistry of pruning various types of shrubs and trees. Learn about the when & why, the difference between heading & thinning cuts, what a good cut looks like, and how to encourage the shape you are trying to achieve. Please note that we will only be discussing ornamental plants; we will not be discussing pruning fruiting trees & shrubs in this class (watch for our class on how to prune your fruiting plants in January!).

Students will receive a coupon for 20% off plants.

Class fee is $15, to register call us at 360-321-9931 or click this link for the Oct. 13th Class or the Oct. 27th Class.
