Skagit Farm Circle: A Hands-On Agricultural Experience for 3rd Graders!

​

In partnership with the Skagit County Fairgrounds, the Western Washington Agricultural Association (WWAA) is proud to present a new, interactive agriculture education program right here in Skagit County!

Building on the success of Whatcom Family Farmers’ ever-growing Whatcom Farm Circle, we’re excited to bring the Skagit Farm Circle to local 3rd grade students for the second time this fall at the Skagit County Fairgrounds.

With support from a variety of local and statewide partners, this event will feature six engaging learning stations, offering students a hands-on opportunity to explore the world of agriculture. Stations will include:

• Dairy farming

• Entomology (the study of insects!)

• Potatoes

• Water and wildlife conservation

• General Washington agriculture explorations

 

Students will rotate through each station in 15-minute sessions, enjoying fun and educational activities that highlight both Skagit County and statewide agriculture.

​

To cap off the field trip, students will receive a take-home swag bag filled with activities, school supplies, and local food products to continue the learning experience at home!

​

Calling All Skagit County Schools:
All Skagit County 3rd Grade Classes are invited to apply. ​This event is free of charge, thanks to generous support from our local agricultural community. Sponsorships from businesses and individuals help make this possible — especially by funding transportation grants for schools traveling from farther away and covering essential event costs.

Join Us As a Volunteer!

Additionally, as a nearly all-volunteer-run event, we welcome anyone interested in donating a couple of hours to help students learn about the importance of agriculture in our region.

​

Whether you’re a teacher, a volunteer, or a local business looking to give back, we’d love to have you involved!
