On Sept. 27, North Olympic Land Trust held its 15th Harvest Dinner at Sunland Country Club. The 200 guests at the sold-out event enjoyed a six-course feast made almost entirely from local ingredients, under the direction of Port Townsend chef Arran Stark.

The dinner celebrated the area’s agricultural heritage and honored Tom and Holly Clark as Farmers of the Year. Other featured speakers included chef Greg Atkinson and U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer.

The dinner also raised funds to support Land Trust activity protecting the region’s farms, fish and forests with an emphasis on raising funds for farmland protection.

In total, the event brought in about $43,500 in donations.
