Our Mission~
We want our work at Finnriver to enrich the earth through the following commitments:
- Practicing sustainable agriculture & ecological land stewardship
- Harnessing renewable energies
- Contributing to vibrant local economy
- Enhancing biodiversity
- Growing an abundant regional food supply
- Offering agricultural & ecological education
- Inviting the community to participate in a vital farm culture
Finnriver Farm is located off Center Road, in the rural Chimacum Valley, a traditionally agricultural region on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. We are about 12 miles south of historic Port Townsend, and a scenic ferry ride and one hour's drive from Seattle.
A Washington State Certified Organic farm and a Salmon Safe farm, at Finnriver we grow an assortment of berry crops, including blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and black currants, as well as a mixed vegetable garden, plant starts, varied flowers, popular squash varieties, and an heirloom apple orchard.
We keep honey bees, raise layer and meat chickens, milk the goats. We are also beginning to plant a variety of grains and hope to grow local wheat, rye, buckwheat, oats and more.
Our farm goods are available through a seasonal U-Pick Collective, at the thriving Port Townsend Farmer's Market, at the Port Townsend Food CO-OP, through our Sustainable Staples CSA, and at various local retail outlets.
We are also developing an artisan Cidery which will begin producing spirited, organic hard cider, dessert wines and tonics in 2009.
We enjoy sharing the farm with migrating salmon and swans; with eagles and herons; with berry-pickers; with farm apprentices, workers and volunteers; and with community members--for workshops, retreats, seasonal celebrations and farm tours.
Thank you for your interest!
