RENTON, WA, Wednesday, July 8th
5-Acre Sustainable Urban Farm. In a rapidly developing area of Renton sits 5 acres of well-utilized farmland. Join the KCD to meet a family who is working to produce their own organic food in a sustainable fashion by utilizing their yard, garden, lawn and woods. Learn about sustainability and what that can mean to each of us in terms of reducing our impact on the
land while saving money AND producing healthy food! This family raises goats for milk and cheese; chickens, ducks and geese for eggs and meat; vegetable gardens and fruit trees for produce; bees for pollination and honey; and grass for livestock hay. Learn about ways to reduce chemical use, cost-savings on food production, low-tech gardening techniques such as chicken tractors, and how children can be an important part of the chore and animal-care routine. We promise… you will be surprised at the volume and value of healthy food produced on this amazing family farm!
Due to popularity there are two tour times: 3 to 5 pm OR 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Registration is limited - please carpool & drive your smallest vehicle.
