Welcome

King-Pierce County Farm Bureau is a non-profit, voluntary, non-governmental, membership organization that supports agriculture by giving farmers and ranchers a collective voice in our community. As a grassroots organization, we are affiliated with a network of Farm Bureaus throughout our country organized at the county, state and national levels. We assist our members with a variety of programs, along with supporting agricultural education and youth programs. We are dedicated to improving the economic well-being of agriculture and the quality of life for farm families.

King-Pierce County Farm Bureau Summer Picnic/BBQ


The King-Pierce County Farm Bureau will host a picnic/BBQ for its farmer members and other invited guests at Farmers Park in Enumclaw on August 15.

This year’s picnic will be held from 1-3 p.m. and includes, pork, BBQ chicken and all the sides.

This is an opportune time to visit with our elected officials and candidates for the upcoming election.

Farmers Park is a beautiful setting for the picnic and was traditionally used for gatherings just like this. Farmers Park is on Highway 164 (Enumclaw-Auburn Highway) right across from the Enumclaw Sales Pavilion. There is plenty of free parking at the park and across the street.

If you have any questions please call George at (360) 825-3194. We hope to see you there!
