Several members of King County’s Agriculture Commission will come to Vashon this week to discuss a variety of topics related to farming on the island.

Islanders interested in agriculture are encouraged to attend the meeting, which is part of the commission’s biennial visit to Vashon to reach out to the island’s agricultural community.

The Thursday evening meeting will include a variety of noteworthy agenda items. At 5:45 p.m. there will be a discussion of possible uses of the former Misty Isle property and farmland preservation on Vashon with Tom Dean, the executive director of the Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust.

Dean has been working with a group for several months to determine if the 500-acre property could be purchased, preserved and transformed into a multi-use site, a large portion of which would be agricultural. He will answer questions about that potential project, he said, and noted that he is open to other community farming possibilities as well.

A discussion of the 2013 King County Agricultural Land Use Survey will follow at 6:10 p.m., and at 6:30 p.m., there will be a presentation about the Salmon Safe Farms program. This program certifies a variety of foods as salmon-safe, said Claire Dyckman, a county liaison to the agricultural committee. Farms must follow set practices to receive the certification, which boosts environmental stewardship and serves as a marketing tool.

At 7 p.m., a discussion with the Vashon Island Growers Association is intended to help the commissioners learn about what is happening on Vashon agriculturally and how the county might help address challenges island farmers face.

The meeting will be from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Land Trust Building.
