Our Farm Share goes beyond veggies

A note from our farmers
“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.”
― Rachel Carson
There’s not a single person whose head won’t turn in awe at the sight of Trumpeter Swans flying overhead, or a brilliant dahlia blooming in the sun. We farmers are lucky enough to witness these sights on a regular basis as we work to steward this beautiful piece of land on the Snoqualmie River. Our goal with this Farm Share program, is to truly share that gift with you! This year at Oxbow we have plans in the works for shareholder potlucks, informational workshops, and hands on volunteer opportunities. If you’re interested in learning more about how your food is grown and truly getting your hands in the dirt – this is the program for you!
When you become a Farm Shareholder at Oxbow, you are joining our farming community. You are putting your dollars towards a local, robust, and resilient food system. You’re helping expand our efforts to connect healthy organic food to the communities that need it most – and to place adaptability over profit as we search for solutions to a changing climate. You are providing us with the financial support to keep a crew of talented people employed year-round. And most importantly, you are supporting Oxbow’s mission to grow food in a sustainable manner for years to come.
To be a Shareholder at Oxbow is to be welcomed into our farm family, and to connect with where your food comes from. It’s a chance to physically visit the fields that feed you and to learn the names and faces of the people who harvest your food. To be a shareholder is to be let in on the secret that is cutting flowers under the warmth of the summer sun, and the magic of eating a raspberry fresh from the cane.
We hope that you join us in the bounty that is to come this year, whether it’s your first year as a Shareholder or your fifth year. Join our Farm Share for a season of delicious eating. Don’t hesitate to reach out to farmers@oxbow.org if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you at the farm!
With gratitude,
Josh, Kyra, Anthony, Parker, Yolanda and Rebeca
