Farm and Food Housing Survey: Share how the current housing shortage is affecting your San Juan County farm/ food-related business
If you own or manage a farm or food system business, we need your help to fill knowledge gaps and help local housing efforts better address the housing needs of local farm and food-businesses in the San Juan Islands.
Fourteen local food system and affordable housing organizations have formed a pro-active housing research initiative and invite you to take the survey.
Your survey responses help identify and quantify actual housing challenges and contribute to finding viable solutions that meet our local food system needs.
Thank you!
