Whidbey Life Magazine presents the wonderful world of the harvest season in this issue with spotlights on the planting at Coupeville’s Willowood Farm, that’s sure to keep the vampires at bay.

Also, read about the FiberQuest with a Twist tour that’s coming up this weekend. Visit alpaca farms, gather your yarn for the knitting season and enjoy some wine and chocolate along the way!

    Great photos, Dave! I love the portraits of the people at Tilth. My favorite is the one with Linda Good leading the singing onstage. Fine capture, there.

    Thank you for that treat! I left Whidbey a few years ago, and miss it very much. These are the things that bring the island back to me.
