The Agricultural Resources Committee (ARC) was established by San Juan County (SJC) Council in 2005 with the mission to protect and restore agricultural resources in SJC.  The ARC seeks to achieve it’s mission by advising SJC Council on relevant agricultural issues; identifying emerging opportunities; informing and educating elected officials and local citizens about the importance of agriculture; and promoting programs, initiatives and policies that strengthen and expand the agricultural economy.

San Juan County is renowned for its deeply rooted, island-based farm culture, as shown by the abundance of diverse and exceptional farm products, delicious local foods, the pastoral beauty of farmland, and a commitment to sustaining and growing a resilient and vibrant local food system.
