About the Farm
Background
The farm has become a staple at farmers markets and select Seattle restaurants, known for its diverse produce and livestock. Over the years, it has built a loyal customer base through its CSA program, providing fresh, seasonal produce by subscription to families in South King County and Seattle.
Practices
The farm employs organic farming methods, using slower-acting organic fertilizers and refraining from synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Manures, compost, and other organic fertilizers are used to feed the soil, fostering a healthy ecosystem that minimizes the need for chemical interventions. The farm's produce takes longer to grow due to reduced water usage compared to larger farms, emphasizing the importance of soil health and natural growth cycles.
The Rest
The farm offers a variety of subscription options, including a CSA program and a Pantry Builder subscription. They also provide garden start kits for preorder. The farm's connection to the local ecosystem is highlighted by the return of Trumpeter Swans, a reminder of the area's rich natural history. Seasonal updates and a new online farm store make it easy for customers to stay engaged and purchase shares or subscriptions.
