We also operate via a USDA operating loan. This loan is based solely on crop sales. Crop <br />sales, as defined by the USDA, include all crops such as pumpkins, winter squash and corn maze <br />admission. <br />I share this to reiterate that we a farm, not a business looking to put on an event. Viewing our operation <br />as an "event" was essentially born out of necessity in regards to our buildings. During our October <br />harvest season, we utilize several Ag buildings that are not permitted for commercial use. ln order to <br />have those buildings inspected and deemed suitable for temporary commercial occupancy, we apply for <br />a "special event permit" each year. This does not negate the fact that we are a licensed farm, making us <br />an essential business. <br />As an essential Ag business, we are permitted to sell our crop through U-pick and our on-farm store. <br />https://www.eovernor.wa.eov/sites/default/files/WA%20Essential%20Critical%20lnfrastructure%2OWor <br />ke r s%20%28Fi nal%29 . p df <br />https://wsfb.com/em plover-resou rces/u-pick-euide I ines/ <br />As part of our agricultural structure, we also produce what the USDA refers to as "Value Added <br />Products": Value-added products are defined by USDA as having: A change in the physical state or form <br />of the product (such as milling wheat into flour or making strawberries into jam). The production of <br />a product in a manner that enhances its value (such as organically produced products). These are sold <br />both through our farm store, as well as our on-farm food services. <br />ln conclusion, our crop and food sales are deemed part of an essential business, as defined by both the <br />state and USDA. The only other aspect for consideration are the activities we provide while on the farm.
