Whatcom Farm Expo
Thank you to everyone who attended the 2022 Whatcom Farm Expo!

Thank You
The NW Washington Fairgrounds was bustling this last Saturday as around 400 people enjoyed the 6th annual Whatcom Farm Expo in the new Farm Pavilion Building. Over 40 exhibitors demonstrated the latest agricultural innovations, products, and services. After two years of virtual content, the opportunity to meet in person was celebrated. Even though it was one of few sunny days in April, farmers left their fields to network and learn about local resources in the community! Visitors engaged with exhibitors and other farmers over new resources to improve and expand crop productivity, animal health, pasture quality, and homesteading happiness.

The Whatcom Farm Expo is an annual free event hosted by the Whatcom Conservation District and Whatcom County Public Works. Doors will be open from 9am to 2pm for you to wander and learn about all the resources available to you, from local organizations to businesses and community groups. Sign up for our E-News to stay up to get announcements for the 2023 Whatcom Farm Expo and our other events!
