South Whidbey Tilth Governing Council

South Whidbey Tilth is governed by an eight-member, volunteer Council of Trustees. The council guides the development and funding of our projects, sets the focus for our mostly volunteer workforce and explores how to further our mission to promote regenerative and equitable agriculture.

How the Council Works

The council meets monthly via Zoom, usually on the third Tuesday of the month from 6 to 8 p.m. Council Meetings are open to all Tilth members.

An Annual Meeting of all members is organized each January. At this meeting, new council members are elected. Each council position is a 2-year term. Elections are staggered so that 4 positions are elected each year.

Feel free to contact council members at any time. We welcome your input!

  2. Inspiring good agricultural practices and local resilience through increased educational offerings

  3. Completing our farm stand to further support our growers by adding a cold storage facility

  4. Renovating the Tilth campus entrance, kitchen and classroom, providing a clean and reliable place for all

  5. Ensuring the Farmers Market continues to offer a community gathering space and venue
