The WSU Small Farms program works with Jefferson County communities and individuals to foster a profitable farming system, to promote land and water stewardship, and to ensure that all Jefferson County citizens have unrestricted access to healthy food. On our site you will find resources for farmers and the general public alike. Visit our site regularly to keep up to date with the latest events and news in our farming community, to learn about sustainable community-based food and farm systems, and to see what exciting projects the WSU is working on right now.

Washington State University provides research-based information and educational programs for farmers, consumers, decision-makers, and others involved in local food systems. The WSU Small Farms Team is a statewide affiliation of professionals from WSU, state agencies, and non-governmental organizations.

Our primary goals are to:

  • Build public support for agriculture
  • Preserve Washington farmland for food and fiber production
  • Help farmers adopt practices that are sustainable- economically, socially and environmentally
  • Unify farmers and consumers in developing local markets and community food access

The Small Farms Program is a program of the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources in WSU Extension and the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences. The program focuses on education resources for farmers, outreach to communities, and team-based research with farmers.
