The Kitsap Community & Agricultural Alliance is the longest-standing agriculture-focused nonprofit in Kitsap County. Led by a volunteer Board of Directors, many of whom are farmers, KCAA has supported local agriculture and worked to strengthened the farming community for decades.
In recent years, KCAA has provided free classes and workshops for new farmers and the broader community, advocated for agriculture at the county level, and supported local food hubs and agriculture-related events such as the Kitsap Farm Tour and the Junior Livestock Auction at the Kitsap County Fair. We also serve as fiscal sponsor for grant-seeking farms and agriculture-focused events in our community.
Our advocacy work includes hosting a County Commissioner Candidate Forum in 2024, giving candidates the opportunity to hear directly from the agricultural community. In 2025, we partnered with the Department of Community Development during Kitsap County’s Year of the Rural - advising stakeholders on proposed Comp Plan revisions, including the approval of an Agriculture Advisory Council that is now moving toward formation.
In the spring of 2026, we will offer ten youth scholarships, open to students participating in North and South Kitsap 4-H and FFA programs. These scholarships are designed to help offset start-up costs for county fair animal projects.
Lastly, Through our Barns of Kitsap initiative, we preserve and share the stories of historic barns and farms across the county. In 2025, we released The History of the Petersen Farm, exploring the 140-year legacy of one of Kitsap’s most iconic farms. This summer, we’ll release our second feature, The History of Walker Farm, highlighting one of Kitsap’s original homesteads that has remained in the same family since 1892.
Please consider supporting KCAA with a donation this year! We have ambitious plans for 2026, and your donation will help us continue to uplift Kitsap's agricultural community. You can explore more about our organization at www.kitsapag.org.
