Whatcom Farm Friends Advisory Board
In June 2010 the Farm Friends Board invited a group of respected farmers representing our diverse farm community to join us in an advisory capacity to our governing board. It is our sense that we need to be regularly checking with the constituents we represent so that our efforts are clearly focused and our voice is consistent with a majority of the farm community.
The advisory board will meet three times annually with the 4th Tuesday of October, January, and April from 12p-2p as the targeted time.
