Spring into the color & beauty of the season and join us May 12th and/or 13th (farmer's choice) for the Spring Jubilee Nursery & Farm Tour. 

The Spring Jubilee Nursery & Farm Tour is a self-guided tour of eleven nurseries and farms in Silvana, Stanwood and on Camano Island that offers the opportunity to get an insider’s view into the world of agriculture and horticulture and see what’s growing in your own backyard!

The public is invited to meet our farmers, tour their family-owned farms, and learn about the industry and variety of crops that are grown in our area.

Gardeners and flower fans can purchase vegetable starts, culinary herbs, annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, native trees and shrubs and stock up on fertilizers, garden tools, and gifts.

Also available will be farm-raised beef, pork, and poultry as well as honey, fresh eggs, and hand-crafted birdhouses.

The event is free and open to all ages.  Tour hours are 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday and for those farms/nurseries who choose, Sunday 10 am to 5 pm.  See the Stanwood Camano News insert for which farms/nurseries are open both days. 
Rain or shine the farmers are ready to welcome you to their farms so come prepared to have fun and get a little mud on your shoes.

Discover the agricultural richness and fantastic food of this northwest corner of Snohomish County and Camano Island. The farms and festivals are many, the people are friendly, and you’ll find an abundance of activities for all ages.

Taking its name and inspiration from Stanwood’s 1930’s era annual fall festival, the 2011 Harvest Jubilee highlights agriculture past and present with an eye to preserving farms and farmland for future generations.

We are proud to support our local farms and businesses throughout the year. Check this site often to see more about similar activities, educational and volunteer opportunities, and events the farms are hosting year-round. For more information, see More Events Calendar.
