Farm Tour season is still in full swing. The other day we received a group of young WSU students wishing to learn more about sustainable agriculture in the PNW. They were given the full round about tour of everything a small, integrated farm has to offer and its many interrelated parts that make it a functioning whole. Its refreshing to offer this insight to the next generation when they are inundated with information that revolves around how large industrial farms operate. They learn the importance of and how to close the loop of inputs and outputs, making a small farm profitable in the newly emerging small farm economy. But it wasn't all seriousness. We set out to get them geared up for their next frightful Halloween by providing them with farm raised pumpkins to carve and eat!
