FARM TOTS
June 11-Oct. 30
Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays, 10:30-11:30 a.m.
$6/child (age 5 and under); adult free with paid child
Kids everywhere are looking forward to the return of our popular
Farm Tots program! And no wonder. Each Farm Tots adventure
includes a wagon ride, art or nature activity, and a chance to
pick a child-sized portion of one of our seasonal U-pick crops. Every
week is a new theme--bugs, flowers, seeds, worms, bees, herbs, etc.
You'll want to come again and again!
Class meets rain or shine and costs just $6 per child per class. Open to
children ages 5 and under with a parent or guardian. No reservations
necessary. Check in at the farm stand at 10:15 a.m.
Be sure to ask about our Frequent Farmer punch card. Good for 6 visits
for one child, it costs just $33 (a savings of $3). And it saves you
time, too. Just have the teacher punch your card--no need to wait in
line to pay. Plus, receive a coupon good for 10 percent off one purchase
of fruit or vegetables in the farm stand. Buy your Frequent Farmer punch
card at the farm stand.
For more information, call Cindi at 425-753-0756 or print out this
flier. |

FARM FEATURED ON THE SEATTLE CHANNEL
If you're buying more local, organically
grown produce, you're not alone. A TV crew from the Seattle Channel was
at the farm last fall to tape a story on the growing interest in local,
organic food. They interviewed Farmer Roger Calhoon and took shots of
Farm Tots families picking flowers and tomatoes.
The report, a segment of the popular CityStream program, can be viewed
on the web at:

Brian Scheehser named executive chef of Trellis
We're excited to report that our favorite chef, Brian Scheehser,
is now working his culinary wonders at Trellis Restaurant at
the new Heathman Hotel in
Kirkland.
For the past 13 years, Scheehser has been executive chef at the
Hunt Club Restaurant at the Sorrento Hotel in Seattle.
Scheehser grows much of the produce he serves right here at The
South 47 Farm. He rents a three-acre plot at the farm where he
raises tomatoes, winter squash, beets, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli,
leeks, and more. He also buys and serves produce from our farmstand.
