Farm News

May, 2010

This Spring has been our busiest ever! Lots of newborns--goats, geese, chickens, ducks, and turkeys. We've made additions to our vegetable beds; added a huge new herb garden; replaced trees and plants lost or diseased in the orchard, blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry beds; and the greenhouse has tomato plants over 4 feet tall!

You will find us at four Seattle farmers markets this year--Broadway, Phinney, Magnolia, and Queen Anne; and our eggs and poultry can also be found at Bill the Butcher shops and Rain Shadow Meats. We have an amazing group of volunteers from the Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) program that are making all of this possible.

Our lineup of chefs and wineries for our farm dinners promises another amazing series you won't want to miss. Our B&B tent is ready for guests, too. The School is now offering a summer day camp for children ages 5-12, and a wide range of classes from organic gardening and basket weaving to cooking and nutrition. Several scout troops have visited the farm to engage in many fun activities, such as making ice cream and planting seeds. Join us for our last public open house on May 29th!

With all these wonderful additions to the farm, you have no excuse not to visit! Join us for a farm dinner, attend a cooking class, send your kids to our summer day camp, and bring your class or scout trip for a tour.
