Small Acreage Tour - Garden Delights CSA & Herb Farm

Join us for a tour of the Garden Delights CSA & Herb Farm in Brush Prairie and learn tips from farm owners about sustainable small farming, raising cattle, keeping horses, reducing mud, improving pastures, and managing manure! Garden Delights CSA & Herb Farm was recognized by WSU Clark County Extension's Small Acreage Program as a Model Property in 2013 for efforts made by the farm owners to control runoff, reduce mud, manage pastures and implement other best management practices that improve operations while protecting water quality and natural resources.

This tour will cover a wide range of small acreage and animal management topics such as building healthy soils, footing materials for heavy use areas, grazing practices, manure management, drainage solutions for runoff and much more. Come learn about how the landowners turned their small acreage property into a sustainable small farm and achieved recognition as a Model Property from WSU Clark County Extension by implementing best management practices that have improved their property and protected natural resources, while saving time and money.

Bring your family (no young children or dogs please) & friends and questions you have about your property. Please dress appropriately for the weather, bring a water bottle and wear sturdy boots as we'll be in the field. Resources and refreshments will be provided.

This tour is put on by the Small Acreage Program which is made possible by joint sponsorship from WSU Clark County Extension and Clark County Environmental Services Clean Water Program.
