Farm Business/Farmer of the Year nominations are going on now through September 16th.

Do you know a really great Kitsap Farmer?

The 2016 Farmer/Farm Business of the Year will be announced at the 8th Annual Kitsap Grown Harvest Dinner (KGHD) on Sunday, September 25th at Olympic College, Bremer Student Center.

Now is the time to nominate a Farmer that you think has had an outstanding year and deserves some recognition.  Maybe they have provided you with delicious local goodness throughout the year or perhaps been active in promoting agriculture in your area.  Anything YOU think makes a great Farmer.

Please send us your nominations to [email protected] by September 16th. Don’t forget to stay tuned to Facebook and here on our website to start voting for your Farmer of the Year between Sept. 17th and 25th.  Then make sure to come on out to Olympic College and celebrate with us during this years dinner.

1. Contributions that the farm business has made in the community as a whole.
2. The growth of farm business over the past year.
3. Contributions to the furtherance and advocacy of farming and agriculture in Kitsap County.
