Agriculture and Natural Resources
The Stevens County office is committed to developing a community-based food system that gives local citizens an option to buy local products and gives local farmers an opportunity to make a reasonable profit. The range of products we have in mind goes from fruits, vegetables, and herbs through poultry and livestock products. We are currently working on two projects that help to create this system: a community kitchen and a mobile poultry processing unit. We encourage sustainable production systems that enhances biological activity in the soil. We offer an extensive courses in developing or improving an agricultural enterprise including production, marketing and financial management.
