Explore the outdoors, celebrate the seasons, & make magical memories.
Oxbow holds events throughout the year to connect you to your food, to the land where it’s grown; and to our work and mission.
What to expect
Our events have exclusive activities custom-made with you in mind to provide you with opportunities to explore, create, learn and make magical memories in the great outdoors.
You can participate in our event-related activities or explore on your own by taking a walk in the farm fields, hiking, and playing along the Snoqualmie Riverbank.
Immerse yourself in nature, taking a break from the city and connecting, listening & watching life thrive around Oxbow.
Some fan-favorite activities include:
- Bringing snacks from home and enjoying a picnic with fresh produce from our Farm Stand.
- Exploring the Living Playground by roaming free in a kid-friendly setting (Climbing a real-life tractor is always fun for the little ones!)
- Peeking into a Conservation Center, where restoration activities are happening all the time.
- Touring a one-of-a-kind PNW Native Plant Nursery.
- Coming camera-ready and take advantage of our natural photo-ops around the site.
We are a King County farm located in beautiful Carnation, WA, just 25 miles from Seattle, and we are looking forward to seeing you soon!
The 2024 season has come to a close, and as winter settles in, we’re busy planning an exciting lineup for next year.

2025 Workshops Lineup (coming soon)
Oxbow’s workshops are small-scale and in-depth experiences that explore our connections to our ecosystem and our responsibility to learn and share knowledge with the next generation. Topics have included mushroom cultivation, flower arranging, edible native plants, sourdough, and more!
We’re committed to making learning accessible to everyone, offering workshops on a sliding scale with suggested pricing and options for community support.
