WSU Organic Farm Field Day and Resource Fair

  • Date: Thursday, July 31, 2008
  • Time: 9:30 a.m. until 1 p.m (registration at 9 a.m.)
  • Where:  WSU Organic Farm at Tukey Horticultural Orchard (at the corner of Airport and Terre View Roads--follow the signs to the farm)

The purpose of the field day is to highlight the WSU Organic Farm.  Topics will include Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), extension, research, teaching and potential partnerships. 

The purpose of the resource fair component is to connect community members with local organizations and educate the general public about where food comes from, growing food, food politics and local food alternatives (to industrial agriculture).  The goals of the resource fair are to contribute to a shorter distance between the producer and consumer, increase knowledge of food systems and empower people to be informed and engaged members of the food politic.  It will provide a networking opportunity for local groups to get together and highlight the network of sustainable agriculture on the Palouse.

Harvest Celebration

  • Date: Saturday, October 13, 2007
  • Time: 10am to 4pm
  • Where:  WSU Organic Farm at Tukey Horticultural Orchard (at the corner of Airport and Terre View Roads--follow the signs to the farm)

This year we will again have a u-pick pumpkin patch with traditional jack-o-lanterns, baby pumpkins, and a few new novelty varieties. The star of the show will be our attempt at a giant pumpkin which will be on display, and everyone is invited to take a guess at the weight. The closest guess gets to take home a more reasonable sized jack-o-lantern. In addition to the pumpkins, there will be hay wagon rides around the farm with Wayne, face painting, fresh pressed apple cider from Harvest House, and u-pick fruit in the orchard.

Meet the crew, see your friends, enjoy the harvest and the crisp fall air.
