Legislative Farm Tour Held in Washington, PA Pictured (l to r) Destiny Hill Farm owners Nancy Cameron and her husband Jim address the attendees of the Washington County Farm Bureau's annual Legislative Farm Tour, while farm employee Meagan Slates listens.
Washington County Farm Bureau's (WCFB) annual Legislative Farm Tour was held August 22 at Destiny Hill Farm in Washington, PA. Owners Jim and Nancy Cameron, along with staff member Meagan Slates, explained to the crowd that they turned the family farm into a place for “Agritainment” and “Ag education.” "In the spring of 2011, farm was transformed into a lavender, fresh cut flower, and berry farm as well as a seasonal event center hosting weddings, large outdoor parties and business or organization events," Nancy Cameron said. The WCFB's Legislative Farm Tour is held each year on a different farm, showcasing the diversity of the farms in the region. "The farm tours are important because it gives an opportunity for local and state legislators to learn about the various forms of farming - as well as the needs of the farmers - in our county," said WCFB member Denise Lewellyn.
