Whatcom farmers and the Lummi tribe came together in the historic Portage Bay Partnership and turned around a water quality problem that had closed the tribe's shellfish beds.

How farmers, tribe partnered to get shellfish beds re-opened

The Farming Show, hosted by Dillon Honcoop and produced by Save Family Farming, gives voice to the farmers, workers, and advocates fighting for the future of agriculture in Washington State. Each episode dives into the real challenges facing local farms—regulations, lawsuits, labor, water, and misinformation—while telling the human stories behind the headlines. Bold, honest, and unapologetically pro-farmer, the show exposes what’s threatening our food system and what’s being done to defend it.
