Small Acreage Farm Tour - Conway Family Farm

Tour a local small acreage farm in Camas, and get stewardship ideas for your property by seeing practices in action. Conway Family Farm, a working goat dairy for over 20 years, was recognized by WSU Clark County Extension as a model property for stewardship in 2006. The farm also features a creamery and cheese cave, and is home to chickens and sheep. http://www.conwayfamilyfarm.com/

Participants will have the opportunity to see rotational grazing, discuss different fencing types, learn about practices to manage runoff and reduce mud, ask animal husbandry questions and see the farms new creamery facilities. Come learn about how the landowners achieved recognition as a model property and how best management practices have been implemented to improve their property and protect natural resources, while saving time and money.

Bring your family & friends and questions you have about your property. Please dress appropriately for the weather, bring a water bottle and wear sturdy boots as we'll be in the field.

The Small Acreage Program, co-sponsored by Washington State University Clark County Extension and Clark County Clean Water Program, will lead the tour with the landowners. The tour runs form 6-8 PM and participants will meet at the property in Camas.

WSU Extension programs are available to all without discrimination. Persons requiring special accommodations should call WSU Clark County Extension at (360) 397-6060 ext. 0 at least two weeks prior to the event.
