| Farm location:
We are located in the upper Skagit valley just
off of Highway 20. We have 34 beautiful
acres, divided by Jones Creek, a small creek
that flows into the Skagit River. Placed snugly
up against the Cascades, the microclimate
helps keep our area warmer, in the summer,
colder in the winter, than the lower main part
of the valley and produces some of the best
quality fruit and vegetables in the valley!
Bring a lunch and enjoy the view from our
picnic table.
Private tours as well as school field trips
are welcome.
Farm Hours:
May thru November, 10 am to 5 pm,
closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
Please check in on our facebook
page to keep up with what is
being harvested at the moment.

Farmers Markets
Farmers markets are the link to our customers. Although our on farm sales and activities have grown, the farmers markets will always remain an important part of the sustainable connections we set out looking for in the mid 1990s.
The big change for 2011 is we have dropped the Redmond Saturday Market from our schedule. This was a big decision for us since we have been a member of RSM for 12 years. Conflicts had been growing and in all good conscience we just could not continue to be part of the deception of this pseudo farmers market.
We hope to bring a real farmers market to Redmond in the future. There the good people of the Redmond community will finally have the opportunity to shop in a relaxed atmosphere of honesty knowing that they are supporting their local family farms.
