Abstract
Recent decades have seen a growing recognition that diversified, small-scale, organic, and agroecological farms have been underserved by standard public agricultural research and Extension approaches. At listening sessions, Washington small-scale farmers expressed interest in learning about organic and agroecological farming techniques directly from the most innovative and successful farmers in the state. In response, WSU Extension worked with Tilth Producers of Washington to launch a series of interactive farmer-to-farmer workshops on the state�s leading organic farms each growing season. Inspired by the Pasture Walks held by producer grazing networks, we named these "Farm Walks.� After 15 years and over 150 Farm Walks, we draw on evaluations and our experiences as organizers to develop guidelines and share insights with others who may want to offer similar programs.
