Grow Greener »
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Growing greener" is not just a catch phrase in the Puget Sound region. It's an actual way of living better; of being careful of what you and your family eat; of being concerned about the effect of herbicides and pesticides; of moving towards a healthier lifestyle......that's what living at Skokomish Farms are all about.

You'll enjoy abundant healthy organic produce year-round. We plan to cross-pasture grass-fed livestock, and to raise field crops. In the winter some crops will be grown in our greenhouses.

We're carefully moving Skokomish Farms from it's past as a hay farm into the growing of organic crops for you, your family, and the consumer market. The crops will be grown naturally until we can reach certified organic status, hopefully by 2010..

Skokomish Farms is a environmental community comprised of nineteen 40 acres parcels. Each 40 acre parcels will have a five acre homesite. The remaining 35 acres will be under a perpetual conservation farm easement.

Each of these 35 acre parcels combine to form the whole 670 acre organic farm to be managed by a professional organic farm manager.

The Land »
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Since part of your land is being farmed, you'll receive a fair land rental for your 35 acres each year from the Farm Owners Association.

You'll be able to earn and/or purchase part of the crops grown for your own use. The land rental and accessibility to purchasing organic crops are your right whether you actively participate in the growing process or not..........participation is entirely your choice.

If you participate in the farming, you can help select the crops. You'll mentally, physically, and spiritually participate in the growing process.

If you actively join us by participating you'll share from the rewards and profits gained in the distribution and sale of crops that you've helped plant, grow, and harvest.

Think back..........how many times in your life have you had the opportunity to actually eat the food you've helped grow. 

The Experience »
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Do you have to have farming experience......................???

If you say, "No," don't be concerned. The farming operation is entirely separate from your homesite, and managed by a professional farm management team.

You and your family can voluntarily participate in the process under the farm manager's direction. Imagine the fun all of you can have learning the agriculture business. We promise you, it can be exciting..............!.

Do you have to participate in the farming? Again, not at all. You can enjoy your five acre homesite however you wish, and still have access to buying naturally grown crops through our Community Supported Agriculture program. Plus you'll still receive a fair land rental for the use of your 35 acres.

Whatever strategy you choose, you can change your position from year-to-year as you wish. Whatever path you decide to follow each year..............we think you'll win!!!
