The additional acres of farmland now under conservation easement protection bring the total protected farmland in Skagit County to more than 14,200 acres.

The Skagit Valley is a magical place that I can’t seem to stay away from. No matter the time of year, it always feels special here.

Come with me on my perfect Sunday in Skagit, and don’t forget your cooler for delicate veggies and other farm and local goodies!
