Stroll the pastures of our 320-acre organic dairy and see Washington’s largest stand of the endangered Kincaid’s Lupine. This fun-filled and educational outing is perfect for wildflower enthusiasts, families and cyclists, alike! 

• Learn from Washington State botanists and scientists why this endangered Lupine species has made an unexpected resurgence on this organic farm.

• Observe fields of this delicate plant in its natural habitat, surrounded by other rare blooming wildflowers – see how many you can find! 

• Hear how the Mallonee Family and the State of Washington have partnered to sustainably manage the organic pastures to preserve and enhance the Kincaid’s lupine habitat.

And get the real dirt on what makes organic farms thrive – the soil! 

• Discover how a commitment to sustainable pasture management has helped the Mallonees reduce the carbon footprint of their organic dairy operation.

• Grab a shovel and dig into the rich nutritious earth that feeds the Mallonees' cows, and in turn local Organic Valley milk drinkers!

Bring your bike!

• Arrive by 10 a.m. to join the Capital Bicycling Club of Olympia on a 20-mile country ride through the rolling hills of Boistfort Valley before joining the group for lunch and pasture walk.

All Lupine Pasture Walk activities are free but require advance registration. 

Participants will enjoy lunch, compliments of the 31 Washington farmer-owners of Organic Valley.
