Clark County uses a site management model that engages individuals with hands-on experience and expertise with agriculture, sustainability, historic preservation, education and environmental stewardship.  The non-profit Friends of the Farm Foundation is also established to oversee fund-raising and donations.

Farm Advisory Team

The Farm Advisory Team is a broader information sharing group that includes Farm Advisory Board members, Friends of the Farm Foundation members, Washington State University Extension, and the Clark County Food Bank.

Farm Site Technical Advisory Board

The Farm Advisory Board is composed of six individuals appointed for their expertise in the above areas.  They review all proposals for use of the 78^th Street Heritage Farm for consistency with the Master Plan Vision, Guiding Principles and Operating Principles and recommend disposition of farm use proposals to the county. This group meets as needed.  Due to potentially confidential discussions with proposers, these meetings are not open to the public.  New proposals received and Board recommendations are reported out at Farm Advisory Team meetings.
