Contact us ASAP to discuss a potential project

PCD obtained funding to provide FREE cover crop and pasture seed this spring. This funding is available to landowners working with our farm team to implement pasture rejuvenation and cover crop seeding using no-till and reduced tillage seeding methods.

To be eligible for funding, projects must be completed between July 14th, 2023 - June 30th, 2024. This will allow us to provide cost share for practices that sequester carbon in the ground and prevent nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. These practices include roofs for manure storage structures and cross fencing to facilitate rotational grazing.

Visit the Sustainable Farms and Fields webpage for more info and contact your local farm planner with your ideas. We would love to help fund your project!

The deadline for the application is June 1^st. Get in touch ASAP if interested.

When you visit a farm, you encounter lots of animals! PCD’s Farm Team regularly visits farms to offer landowners the resources and assistance needed to better manage their land. From establishing fencing, implementing rotational grazing, or creating an efficient manure bin, these animals are getting a better home. 

If you’re interested in learning more about farm planning and agricultural assistance, please visit the farm team website.

We are excited to announce that Sarah Lemon has joined the PCD team as a Farm Resource Specialist! She will be focusing on the Puyallup Watershed.  

Sarah joins the team after several years of full-time livestock farming, most recently at Carnation Farms in Carnation, WA.  

Sarah brings expertise in soil science, small-scale livestock production, agricultural policy, and poultry processing.  Her background includes a BS in geology from Colgate, an MS in geophysics from the University of Wisconsin, and a recent Graduate Certificate in Food Policy and Sustainability Leadership from Arizona State University.  

Outside the office Sarah can be found working sheep for fun, dancing, and getting to know her new Pacific Northwest home.   

We are excited to welcome Sarah to the team and hope you’ll bump into her in the office or at one of our events!
