The 19th Annual Whatcom County Farm Tour will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2026 from 10:00 AM-4:00 PM. Each of the locations will offer a unique opportunity to meet the folks who grow and raise our food and learn more about how that food makes it from the farm to our plate. This self-guided event is FREE for all ages and is a beloved part of Eat Local Month.

What to bring:

  • A water bottle (stay hydrated!)
  • A cooler with ice to store all your goodies from the farms
  • Layers (check the weather!)
  • Closed toe shoes (highly recommended!)
  • Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)

PLEASE NO PETS

For farms’ biosecurity and the safety of livestock, pets are NOT allowed on tours. If traveling with pets, keep them safely in your vehicle at all times. Service animals that are (1) trained to perform a task directly related to a person’s disability and (2) under the control of their handler at all times, are welcome.

Keep Farms Healthy!

To ensure the health and safety of our animal friends, farmers may ask you to step through a sanitizing footbath or wear disposable booties while exploring the farm. Thank you for your cooperation!
