Snohomish County Farm Festival

Check out life on the farm during the Snohomish County Fall Farm Festival, taking place October 18 and 19 at various locations in Arlington and Marysville.

This year’s theme is “Farming Yesterday and Today” as Snohomish County celebrates its agricultural roots and invites its neighbors to join the fun.

The event offers visitors a chance to tour local farms not usually open to the public. Farm tours, farming demonstrations, herding trials, pumpkins, corn mazes and special products are just some of treats in store for those who make the trek to our local farms.

Local farm-related businesses participating in the festival include Biringer Farm, Foster’s Pumpkin and Corn Maze Farm, the Arlington Farmers Market, the Village Store, Island Crossing Farm, Garden Treasures and Ninety Farms. For a complete list of locations and offerings, check out the map provided by Snohomish County.

“Farming Yesterday and Today” is just one of the events during the month-long Snohomish County Fall Farm Festival. In late September Stanwood, Silvana and Camano Island farmers sponsored Harvest Jubilee, and the Monroe area celebrated the first weekend of the Sky Valley Farm Festival on October 4. The Snohomish Festival of Pumpkins features events throughout the month of October. On October 11, visit Sultan, Startup and Gold Bar for the second half of the Sky Valley Farm Festival.
