The fifth annual Vim Wright Stewardship Awards Event will be held this year in Carnation, WA at Jubilee Farm on Saturday, September 6.

Recognizing & rewarding farmers and ranchers on the cutting edge of sustainable agriculture.

With a change of date and of venue, the 2008 Vim Wright Stewardship Awards celebration promises to sustain once again the success of this annual event. By bringing together farmers, policy-makers, environmentalists, shoppers, grocers, and legislators, Farming and the Environment celebrates sustainability, conservation and the legacy of these to extend to future generations.

About Jubilee Farm

First runner-up for the 2007 Vim Wright Stewardship Award, Jubilee Farm was the first organized community-supported agriculture farm in the Snoqualmie Valley and is still one of the most successful.  In 2004, Erick and Wendy Haakenson, owners of Jubilee Farm, entered into a cooperative agreement with Stewardship Partners to undertake riparian area restoration along the Snoqualmie River adjacent to the farm.  This work led to Jubilee Farm being one of the first four farms in the Puget Sound certified as Salmon Safe.
