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.
First Light Farms
At First Light Farm & Learning Center, we celebrate both plant and human diversity as we to strive to educate ourselves and our customers (whether CSA, u-pick, mini farmers, or the public in general) about our interdependence with the natural world and our ever increasing need to care for, protect and live in gratitude for this vital relationship between healthy soils and the well-being of our own bodies and the communities we live in.
Regeneration Farm
At Regeneration Farm, we steward unceded Sammamish Land. We are building a functioning agroforestry education farm. We provide our local communities with a healthy source of food, plants and knowledge. We take a diversified approach including both food production and educational workshops and events on the farm. This is set within the context of restoring the land we steward to provide maximum environmental benefit, such as carbon sequestration via topsoil creation and tree planting, ecosystem health and on-farm productivity.
Songbird Haven Farm
Songbird Haven Farm is a vegetable and herb farm in the Sammamish Valley on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people.
We farm in a way that supports habitat for creatures above and below the soil. We use organic growing methods and support soil health by not tilling (i.e., plowing), using lots of compost, growing year-round, and planting a wide variety of crops.
Kamayan Farm
Farmer Ariana de Leña (Ari) is the owner/operator of Kamayan Farm, a small vegetable, medicinal herb, and education farm located in the Snoqualmie Valley. Ari is driven by a vision to (re)connect communities with land and to collaboratively share cultural stories through food and medicine.
Root Connection
The Root Connection is Washington State’s first CSA farm. Since 1987, founding farmer Claire Thomas and her crew have been growing local, chemical-free food for the community on 20-acres located in the Sammamish Valley between Woodinville and Redmond. The farm offers seasonal and year-round memberships featuring the best seasonal vegetables plus you-pick herbs and flowers. Claire is also the founder of Farms for Life and continues as an emeritus board member.
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.
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.
One Leaf Farm
Established in 2011, One Leaf Farm grows a wide variety of vegetables on 8 acres in Washington's Snohomish Valley. One Leaf is run by Rand Rasheed and her talented crew. We grow using organic methods to take care of the environment, and the health of our community and farm workers. Growing delicious, beautiful, and nutritious vegetables is our passion and we're happy to share them with you.
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. They hope to inspire more people to eat with the seasons and support our local food economy. Skylight Farms is excited to be a continuing partner with Farms for Life.
"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."
