Firdell Farm
- Status
- Funded in 2011
Skagit County will use this grant to buy a voluntary land preservation agreement to prohibit further development on the 157-acre Firdell farm. The farm contains a barn listed on the Washington State Heritage Barn Register. This farm produces seed crops, seeds, and forage. Cover crops are planted when possible to provide food for wildlife as well as to improve the soil. This farm supports agricultural education through its "Cow Town" presentations. The farm has provided hands-on tours and educational information about agriculture, particularly for children. Firdell Farm is extremely popular for birding due to its location off the Skagit delta. The farm provides habitat for birds, including snow geese, tundra and trumpeter swans, great blue herons, bald eagles, hawks, and many species of ducks. The County will contribute $205,000 from a federal grant.
