Results for 'Organic'

Hi Friends! We couldn’t be more excited because this past weekend the farm officially opened for the season. From now through October 31 we will be open to anyone who wishes to pay us a visit. We had so many visitors come out this weekend, and we want to say thank you to those of you who stopped by!

 

Our 27-acre berry farm on the Skagit River features our fresh-picked strawberries (June), raspberries (July), & blueberries (July-Aug.) Pumpkin Patch and Hardy Kiwis in October and frozen berries all year long. Our famous homemade organic ice cream, picnic area, flowers and self-guided tour make it well worth the drive.

We’re open daily from 8am-8pm. If you’re planning a trip to Washington this summer we’d love to see you. We’re right off Highway 20 near Rockport, Washington. Yesterday there was a pretty strong storm that did some damage to our greenhouse, and to some of the roads, so check WSDOT before planning your trip!

 

Here's a video we shot last year when Chefs A' Field came to visit (Facebook users - if the video is not displaying, you can watch it here: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=102616819757111)

 

Happy Friday Friends! Hope you had a great week. We wanted to take a moment today to thank you for your support of our Live Green Together campaign.

So far we have raised over $9,000! This money will go to the Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF), which will help educate farmers about the benefits of organic farming. We hope that with the knowledge gained, more farmers will want to convert their traditional farms to organic farms. This is important to us because not only is organic food good for our bodies, it’s good for the Earth too.

We still haven’t reached our goal of $40,000, but we still have a month to go! If you haven’t pledged yet, it’s very simple and it DOES NOT cost you a thing. We are the ones donating the money, all you have to do is pledge to live a little greener by following a few eco-tips on facebook. For each person that pledges, we will donate $1 to OFRF. We invite you to pledge by clicking here. Thank you again for your support!

Here are some of the wonderful comments we received from our friends of facebook who pledged:

“I pledge to live as green of a life as I can for myself and my family! Happy Earth Day To Everyone!”- Ginger from Ephrata, PA

“I took the pledge. I use organic whenever possible, grow my own organic tomatoes, hot peppers and herbs that I use for cooking, and share a ride with my hubby every work day to save gas. Every little bit helps Mother Earth!”- Cheryl from Westlake, OH

“I made the pledge. I do not use plastic…in anyway shape or form…material bags for groceries (I have 10) purchase organic veggies...and cleaning products. Thank you for all you do...it does make a difference *smiles*” –Elisa from Oceanside, CA
