So far, the headlines have been about amazon, starbucks and microsoft. But behind the scenes, washington State agriculture is going through some real tough times right now. This should be very concerning, if you like to eat.
Washington state isn't just losing farms. It's losing the food system infrastructure needed for farms to exist.

It is possible to store water to address the twin problems of too much water in winter and too little in summer… if communities work together. 🤝
Collaboration in the Yakima basin is a great example of what could happen here in the Nooksack basin.
