Tour of local farms draws 200

Ridgefield— More than 200 people toured nine local farms despite the dreary, wet weather Sept. 17. During the 13th Annual Clark County Harvest Celebration Farm Tour, visitors got a taste of local produce, learned how to grow garlic and saw Rojo, the first certified therapy llama. Participating farms included Northwest Organic Farms, Storytree Farm, Bi-Zi Farms, Rusty Grape Vineyards and Compass Rose Alpacas. The yearly event was put on by the Washington State University Clark County Extension Small Acreage Program.
