We are blown away with the incredible outpouring of support for our mission and those who came to our sold-out event Saturday evening to celebrate and honor John Roozen, whose passion and commitment to Skagit agriculture is bar none!
Together we raised just over $237,000 to support SPF’s work on the many complex issues that face our agricultural industry and to help protect 80 acres of prime farmland at the Chuckanut freeway interchange, through the Skagit County Farmland Legacy Program.
Your support Saturday night and throughout the year adds strength to our collective voice as we advocate for the protection and preservation of farmland and the continued economic viability of Skagit agriculture.
Skagit County is recognized as one of the strongest agricultural economies remaining in the Puget Sound region.
Skagit farmers have been supplying the region, state, and world with a diverse mix of seed and specialty crops for over 150 years.
The farmland in the Skagit Valley is integrated within one of the last watersheds in the United States containing all five native species of salmon.
The Skagit Watershed is now recognized as being one of the healthiest watersheds remaining in Puget Sound, in very large part due to Skagit agriculture.
On behalf of the SPF Board of Directors - thank you for helping to Keep Skagit Valley farming!
