The Key Peninsula Farm Tour was established in 2006 by Trillium Creek Winery as a participant of Pierce County and Washington State University's HarvestFEST. Local farmers set up a sub-committee of the Key Peninsula Community Council (KPC), and assumed responsibility for the farm tours when government funding for the program was depleted.
The Longbranch Improvement Club (LIC) Fiber Arts Show joined the tour in 2007, Key Peninsula Gateway Park in 2012, and the Key Peninsula Fire Department Firehouse Pancake Breakfast in 2013.
Presently around one dozen farms participate in the event each year. The second day of activities includes an apple squeeze event.
