Would you like to explore a farm and chat with a local farmer? Want to share with the littles where their food comes from? How about a visit with baby goats? Make plans to attend the annual Sammamish Valley Spring Celebration, Friday to Sunday, May 3-5th. Stop by the farms and businesses that support our agriculture community.
Enjoy a variety of activities throughout the weekend that celebrate spring: there will be tours, market demos, sampling of freshly pressed apple cider and farm-fresh food, and yes, chickens, goats and pigs! Get the family out of the city and enjoy the farm community and embrace the natural surroundings. Each location has its own schedule of events during the Celebration.
