Saturday, October 15, 2011 9:00 am - 12:00 pm RSVP/Sign up: http://earthcorps.org/volunteer.php?dateId=978 Join EarthCorps, PCC Farmland Trust, Tahoma Farms and the Pierce Conservation District Stream Team as we plant 2 native hedgerows at Tahoma Farms. The hedgerow will contain 100's of native trees and shrubs! These hedgerows will attract pollinators to the organic crops grown in the fields and provide habitat for birds and other small animals. A tour of the farm facility will be offered following the planting. Tahoma Farms is a 38-acre certified organic vegetable farm located in the Puyallup River Valley, upstream from the town of Orting, Washington. A former dairy, Tahoma Farms was purchased in 2009 by Kim and Dan Hulse. Tahoma Farms is part of the Orting Valley Farms project, a collaboration between Pierce County, Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office, PCC Farmland Trust and the previous landowners, to permanently preserve the 100-acre former dairy as certified organic and salmon safe farmland.
