The Scatter Creek Community Farm is a collaborative project between the South Sound Community Farmland Trust, Kirsop Farms, and the Creekside Conservancy to acquire and protect an old dairy site (the Weins property) to protect and develop the site for farming and conservation of natural resources in perpetuity
The Scatter Creek Farm is located outside the Puget Sound basin, but has potential value as a demonstration site within the greater Cascadian Lowlands for floodplain management that integrates agricultural and conservation land uses.
