Farm Speaker Series
2026
Thursdays
June - September
Our Farm Speaker Series back starting this June, with on-farm field days and evening events focused on local livestock production. We’re continuing our 2025 series connecting local meat producers with one another and with industry experts and resources in marketing, production, and land management. From grazing management for animal nutrition and pasture renovation to assessing if wholesale channels are right for your meat business, don’t miss these informal, farmer-led events.
Thank you Dairy West for sponsoring these events!

Farm Speaker Series from May to September
Listen to local Whatcom County farmers, as they share how they manage their pastures to increase yields, improve soil health and grow a high quality forage for their animals. Each episode showcases how various farms adapt their management for grass growth. Whether you are raising horses, beef, sheep or goats, healthy pastures are a vital component of your farm’s success. Overcome pasture challenges and grow thriving, nutritious pastures for your animals! For the full Virtual Pasture Tour playlist visit our YouTube channel.
