Update for Farm Aid for Local Farms
There is a huge thanks from the farmers that have been affected. There were many people coming out on Saturday and Sunday to the Olympia Farmer's Market making donations of all sorts. $12, 310 was donated this weekend. Thanks so much Olympia! This is helping to go directly to the farmers to get back on their feet. The Olympia Farmer's Market has purchased the following for clean up. Dump trucks of gravel will be dropped off this week. Dry firewood has been purchased and is being delivered. Also, tarps, water, tools are being able to be delivered so that clean areas are able to be made.
Monetary Donations can be made at the Olympia Farmer's Market website now. Click on the Paypal button. If anyone wants to pick up the Paypal button for the Farm Relief Fund please contact the Olympia Farmer's Market at 352-9096. This will be good for the web savy people to do.

Directions to Boitsfort Valley Farm
FYI: Map Quest has got the directions wrong.
These are the directions: I-5 South.
Exit 77 Raymond/ Pe Ell, go Right onto Route 6 (WEST).
About 7 miles, go LEFT onto Curtis Hill Road.
Up and over the hill, come to a stop sign.
Left onto Boistfort Road.
First farm on right.
It is recommended that you are suited up BEFORE you get out of the car. THere is very little places to suit up that are clean. Bring a strong garbage bag to hold your dirty clothes.
Again, Boistfort Valley Farm is not a kid friendly clean up work party.
