Our local chapter was founded in 1982 on the mostly rural south end of Whidbey
Island. South Whidbey Tilth is a nonprofit corporation whose gardeners and
farmers raise crops in the Maritime Northwest cool, wet weather conditions,
which often require special measures for success.
Our activities include bimonthly member newsletters and business meetings; at
least four public educational programs a year; a tour of member's gardens each
July; educational booths at public activities like the Whidbey Island Area Fair;
ongoing hands-on learning experiences at our developing sustainable agriculture
center; and a series of Tilth sponsored gardening classes each winter.
On April 21, 2000, South Whidbey Tilth purchased 11 acres of land at Thompson
Road and State Route 525. It is the home of the relocated Tilth Farmers' Market
and Sustainable Agriculture Center. It includes a farmers market area, a native
plant restoration area, a community garden, and demonstration forest and
farming projects.
Late this fall the Tilth Council sent around a survey and received 31 responses. On December 8 we held a retreat facilitated by Carol Squire. Please look over the attahed ideas and help us make them happen. Download the survey and actions here.
Whether you own a commercial farm or a small backyard garden plot, the question
that drives the Tilth association is, "How to grow the healthiest food with the
least harm to the environment, and at the fairest rate of return for both
producers and consumers.
What's the Harm in Genetically Modified Foods? by Lori B. Taylor, G.I. Nutritionist; presented at the South Whidbey Tilth annual meeting, January 17, 2015. Available as a Powerpoint or movie file.
We are a nonprofit organization and operate under a set of bylaws (Click here to see South Whidbey Tilth Bylaws), and have regular business meetings to set the focus for our mostly volunteer workforce and explore how to further our mission to promote biological and equitable agriculture.
