Ames Creek Farm Tour
September 27th, 10am -4:30pm
27307 NE 100th, Carnation, WA 98104
Ames Creek Farm is home to a diverse variety of row crops, chickens, pigs, turkeys and cows. The land is farmed by three separate farming families: Andrew Stout and Wendy Munroe of Full Circle Farm, Michaele Blakely of Growing Things Farm and Phong Cha and Ma Thao of Children’s Garden Farm. Ames Creek Farm was purchased in 2006 by the PCC Farmland Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving regional farmland and keeping it in active organic agricultural production. Come meet the farmers and see how thousands of donors are able to play a part in the local farming community!
