Farming is very important to La Conner and the Skagit County. They talk about how it is important to keep farming going because of the delicious food we get from it on the website http://skagit.wsu.edu/Agriculture/index.htm. Another website that they talk about how farming is important is on the website http://www.darigold.com/. Darigold is a cooperation where farmers send there milk and Darigold makes cheese, ice cream, milk, and other delicious foods. These websites promote the dairy industry and since there are lots of farms they promote tourism. There are some farms that are open to giving tours. There is the Hedlund Family Farm outside of La Conner and they are very well known throughout La Conner. Another place where you can go is a farm called Golden Glen Creamy where you can buy fresh dairy products and sometimes they give tours. Here is another important site that talks about why farming is important in La Conner http://www.skagitcounty.info/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=5&MMN_position=16:16. This website talks about the Tulip Festival which is a very big event because we get lots of tourists and the tourists buy things at shops and that helps La Conner's econmy. Here is the website of one of the places that I talked about earlier http://www.goldenglencreamery.com/index.htme. This has lots of neat information of what they sell and why farming is important. I know that all the information and that these sites are valid because i know the the sites and i know the information is real. I also know because what they talk about in the websites i have seen so i know that it is real.
