Outback farm at WWU abloom with student energy, ideas

Last year, people celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Outback farm at Fairhaven College.
This Saturday, Feb. 26, people are invited to a workshop to brainstorm the future of the college's back forty.
The Outback actually covers about five acres from the college south to Western Washington University's Buchanan Towers residence halls. About three of the acres are filled with gardens, greenhouses, ponds, a toolshed and other trappings of a small farm nestled in the narrow valley with southern exposure.
