and engage with your local food system
Are you curious about all that it takes to grow food for your community? Viva Farms welcomes you to join us for a tour.
Here is a little bit about what you can expect while visiting us:
-
- Tours are 1.5 hours and hosted by Viva Farms’ staff members at our farm in Burlington, WA.
-
- You will learn a bit about our organization’s history, primary programs and how to get involved, surrounded by the beauty of growing fruits and vegetables.
-
- The typical tour is a walking tour of about one mile over unpaved, uneven ground with limited shade. We do our best to make accessibility accommodations as needed. If something would better your experience, please contact us or include accommodation requests in the form below.
-
- You will be visiting a working farm! Please dress accordingly. Plan to wear boots or waterproof footwear for rain and mud. Wear or bring layers to stay comfortable no matter the weather, including a raincoat and a hat and/or sunglasses.
-
- There are many working organic farms onsite that depend on their farms for their livelihood. Food safety and organic certification is critical to their businesses. We ask that you stay on the main roads and avoid walking amongst crops.
-
- By joining the tour, you provide consent for photographs and other media that may be used on Viva Farms’ materials.
-
- Viva Farms is a bilingual organization and operates in both English & Spanish. Tours will be conducted in English unless otherwise requested during registration.
