FARMS

Thanks to our partnering farms

Farms for Life helps local farmers yield more income from their crops by paying for surplus produce, which often goes unharvested due to resource constraints. By supporting our local farms, we are helping to protect precious farmlands in our own community.

Sariwa Farm

Sariwa Farm

Sariwa Farm is a half acre farm on Coast Salish land, owned and operated by Lorna Velasco. Sariwa means fresh in Tagalog, one of 200 languages in the Philippine archipelago where Lorna grew up, she is from a long line of farmers and fisherman. Her practice is one of bayanihan (mutual support) focusing on limiting carbon footprint and retaining cultural heritage. She grows vegetables that she incorporates in dishes that she knows will make her ancestors giddy; bittermelon, garlic, tomatoes, luffa, okra, eggplant, molokhia, moringa to name a few.

Steel Wheel Farm

Steel Wheel Farm is a small, first-generation family farm with one goal in mind: To improve the way in which produce is grown, harvested and distributed. Everything we do is guided by our mission of growing quality food, being environmentally friendly and stewards of the land. We believe that quality food begins with the farmer and because of this we choose Non- GMO seeds, Certified Naturally Grown Practices, and giving back to the soils we mine from. You can find our diversified farm located in the Snoqualmie Valley.

Gaining Ground

Root & Rabbit Farm

Root & Rabbit Farm

My name is Trevor - co-owner & operator at Root & Rabbit Farm. After graduating Viva Farms in 2019 Practicum in Sustainable Agriculture, the farm was born! I believe that fostering healthy, organic local food systems has a direct impact on our community and environment. Happy soil is also a fundamental key to success when it comes to sustainable agriculture. It’s important to me to minimize tilling and work with the land instead of against it. I’ve really enjoyed working in the valley and being a part of a network of small farmers.

Orange Star Farm

Orange Star Farm

Orange Star Farm owner and farmer Libby Reed is dedicated to building soil biology and structure to better weather coming climate changes and other crises. Orange Star is a farm where the everyday details of farming and life are just as important as the overarching plan: To bring food to families and restaurants in Snohomish and King Counties and give rare and heirloom varieties and uncommon produce a place in today's food culture and to give back to the community by growing fairly priced fresh, healthy food for all. Nutrition, abundance, beauty, care, creativity, giving - just a few words that describe Libby's day to day approach at Orange Star Farm.

Skylight Farms

Skylight Farms

Skylight Farms, situated on the banks of the beautiful Snohomish River, was started by Jonathan and Petrina Fisher in late 2012. They grow over 125 varieties of vegetables, fruits, and herbs including many heirloom and unique items that can’t be found at the grocery store. Their food is grown with a commitment to sustainable growing practices, preserving the natural environment and enhancing the community.

Caruso Farms

Caruso Farms

Caruso Farm produces sustainably grown fruits and vegetables for wholesale, CSA and farmers markets. We are a small family farm in Snohomish and understand the importance of growing food without the use of conventional fertilizers or synthetic pesticides. Our mission is to provide healthful food to our local community that is safe and nourishing. We practice crop rotation, soil fertility and exclusion to limit pest damage. Our cultural practices are intended to be regenerative and by building healthy soils we grow healthy food.

"We love working with Farms for Life because as a small farm, it can be hard to find an outlet for our surplus food. It's great to know that our food will fill the plates of people in need. We believe that people from all walks of life deserve to eat well, and Farms for Life gives us an opportunity to nourish our community."
