About the Farm
Background
Richard Ness and Mary Young-Ness started Kittitas Valley Greenhouse in 1988 with 1,000 sq ft. Now at 15,000 sq ft, the greenhouse grows the highest quality pesticide-free hydroponic heirloom and hybrid tomatoes. The greenhouse is located on a farm purchased by Mary's grandfather, William F. Erickson, during the Great Depression. Rich's background includes working on a truck farm in the Kent Valley and utilizing his college chemistry education, while Mary, a former CPA, provides the business acumen.
Practices
The greenhouse utilizes a natural spring that has served as the domestic water source for the property for years. This spring water is pure and reliable, free from trace pesticides or herbicides. The hydroponic method ensures that the plants receive consistent and clean nourishment, contributing to the production of high-quality, flavorful produce.
The Rest
Kittitas Valley Greenhouse has booths at many farmers markets throughout Washington, selling their pesticide-free heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, and other produce. The multi-generation family farm is a good neighbor to the L.T. Murray Wildlife Area and operates with sustainability in mind.
