This *Saturday, July 11th* the Tacoma Food Co-op invites you to join us for a tour of Tahoma Farms. The tour is kid-friendly, free and open to the community. Participants should plan their own transportation to and from the farm, located at *21108 Orville Rd E, Orting, WA*, and plan to meet at Tahoma Farms at *2:00pm.* We will plan on wrapping up the visit around *4:00pm*. Drinks and a light snack will be provided. Event Description: Come see a newly established (2009) 40 acre organic fruit and vegetable farm in Orting. Throughout the year, the Co-op produce department features Tahoma-grown produce, including root vegetables, rainbow chard, sugar snap peas, and sun chokes. We will look at the farm's facilities for post-harvest handling, and talk about food safety in the context of Tahoma's newly certified Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) facility. The farm is also looking at agritourism opportunities and will discuss the vision for that component of the farm and look for input from the Co-op community.
