“We are a family farm who, together with our extended community of workers, helpers, packers, distributors, managers, friends, and co-creators are Raising Apples, Raising our children, Raising our Soil’s organic matter, and Raising our Consciousness around Food and Food connections ….Our family’s descendants have been growing apples since the late 1800s in central Washington representing 5 generations of people who gain their livelihood from growing Food. We are proud of that tradition, yet realize that we are in New times and New conditions as we move forward ….Food and people’s relationships with food are ever present in our practices and future planning. Growing fruit, vegetables, grains and fodder in as safe and healthy of a manner for both our consumers, and for the environment is our high priority.”

I like the website
Congratulations, Jim, it looks really good, great to see images of what you have been talking about, keep up the amazing work and my will of visiting is growing more and more…all the best..
Jim this is a good start. The site is simple and clean. Your message is easily understood and resounds a great vision of sustainability within the farming community, process,education and more importantly paying it forward. I will try to be fit for the Soltice celebration.
Remember to give everyone a choice. Human growth comes from first of having the opportunity to make choices and not from others perception of one’s receptive spirit.In most cases man will put up with what’s right for them.

Cool website, Jim!
I googled and found this!!I like your mission statement Jim!This is such a positive thing you are doing Jim and I commend you on making all this happen in the Royal Slope area.Remember Teepee Pete? From what I remember he was big on sustainable agriculture and organic farming practices in the area way back when and was viewed by his fellow farmers in the area like a kook for his ideas. Look how times have changed and more farmers are getting conscious about the land, environment, and health of the end consumer by focusing on organically grown produce and sustainable use of our natural resources.Big up to you Jim for real man!!!! Much Love and Respect to you and Jamie, Sincerely,Emmitt and Family
Looking forward to seeing you on Queen Anne tomorrow! Lovely weather for a market day. It’s our PIE DAY so be prepared to answer questions about what apples and spices make the BEST pie
