INFORMATION: Viva Farms is comprised of several beginning and Latino farmers who are launching farm careers at Skagit’s first “farm incubator.” 10 new farmers, representing 8 farms, are growing at Viva Farms this season. We offer over 45 varieties of fresh vegetables, herbs and flowers, as well as free-range poultry and eggs. Join our weekly delivery program to receive an assortment of the freshest local fruits & veggies (June - Oct) or stop by any time to meet our farmers & collect local cooking & gardening tips! We’re undergoing the 3-year-long transition to organic so our produce is pesticide & herbicide-free. Call Sarita at 206-914-7948 to arrange a visit or join our CSA. Hablamos Espanol! Viva Farms is a joint venture of GrowFood.org, an international non-profit organization dedicated to cultivating the next generation of sustainable farmers; WSU Skagit Extension and community partners who seek to keep Skagit farming by helping future farmers overcome barriers to entry.
