Jefferson County Farm Tour goes virtual this weekend

22 farms planning to participate

PORT TOWNSEND — The 18th annual Jefferson County Farm Tour is going virtual this weekend with 22 participating farms sharing photos, video tours and presentations.

This year’s free Virtual Farm Tour is featuring more farms than in years past in part due to the event being virtual, organizers said. Several participating farms are not able to host visitors on their farms but are sharing their stories with the community.

On GetOnTheFarm.org, visitors will find extended profiles, professional photos and videos from local farms.
