On the farm We are not a U-pick farm, but we are happy to sell directly to you at the farm. Check our fresh list to see what is available and be sure to call before you make the trip. We welcome visitors to the farm! Buy produce fresh from the garden, enjoy a tour of our vegetable, herb, and flower gardens, the orchard, vineyard, and greenhouse, or just relax amid the beautiful Cascade Mountain view, peace, and quiet. It’s best to call in advance to ensure we are home. 425.333.0833 or 425.417.3947 We use sustainable, organic growing practices—no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones/antibiotics. Our poultry range free in pasture all day long and eat a certified organic feed as well.

Shelby, the real “dog” in Dog Mountain Farm. This sweetheart of a chocolate lab is overly friendly and always looking for a sucker to rub her tummy. As one of our young visitors recently said, she’s not a dog, she’s an overstuffed sausage. What’s not to love about that?

Farm News September 19, 2008 It’s been a beautiful end to our growing season! These past few weeks of warm, sunny weather have nursed the late-season crops into production. Don’t miss us on the Harvest Celebration Farm Tour, Saturday, September 27th, from 10-4:30! In addition to touring our farm to see the growing fields, greenhouse, and poultry yard, I’ll be offering horse-drawn hay rides with our Percheron draft horses, Ike and Zeek. We have lots of picnic tables in the orchard, so bring your lunch and enjoy the stunning mountain view! Our farm “store” will include refreshments as well as produce from our farm and several products from local producers that are not on the farm tour. Several of the producers will be at the farm so you can talk to them and learn first-hand about their quality products. And best of all we have some wonderful live music! The Dog Mountain String Band, wielding banjo, guitar, and fiddle, will be playing songs from Appalachia. Toutes Filles, Tous le Temps (all girls, all the time), will be singing a capella folk-roots music from around the world. The next and final farm event is our Apple Harvest, October 25th, from noon to 5 PM. Come help make apple cider and apple butter. We’ll have produce for sale, wine tasting, and live music by the Dog Mountain String Band and Toutes Filles, Tous le Temps. If the weather is nice, I’ll hitch up the horses for hay rides. Our farm dinners are over for this season, but we are taking reservations for 2009. Check out the farm dinner journal for menus and pictures from this year. We will continue to support the Slow Food Snoqualmie Valley convivium and encourage you to join us for the monthly potluck meeting for great food and conversation! In June, 2009, we’ll be opening our farm stay B&B with platform tents and a young farmer program for families staying two nights or more. Many farm dinner guests are deciding to make a weekend of their visit! Cindy
The farm is shared with lots of wildlife. Bird watching this year has added a few new birds to my life list. This Barred Owl sat still long enough for me to get a photo!
