From Komo News:Firefighters estimate the damage at $2.2 million...."
I can't even imagine the devastation. When you are a farmer, it's not just your livelihood, it's your life. I am sorry to see another farm disappear. Recent floods and other emergencies have been claiming farms all over the state. I strongly believe in local farms, their simple and direct connection to every aspect of our lives.
Recently, when Farmer Boy wanted me to stop our organic share from Terry's Berries, I said no. Buying organic fresh produce from a local farm is not just a whim or trend for me. I am putting my money where my mouth is. Buying local and local organic products (produce, eggs, meat, etc) is my political stand. I do not know whether this farm was organic, but it is local. The less we have local farms, the less we are connected to the reality.
