Carnation Farms is a community-based hub for regenerative food and agriculture that educates and empowers the work of culinary, food, and farming professionals. Historically:
Nestled in the Snoqualmie Valley, the 818-acre historic farm property home to Carnation Farms has a deep history within the agricultural and greater Seattle community. In 1985 the Carnation Milk Company was sold by the Stuart
family to Nestle, along with the farm property. In 2008 the great grandson of E.A. Stuart, Elbridge Stuart III assisted in the purchase of the property on which a Paul Newman SeriousFun Camp operated programs for children with life-altering medical conditions. Following the camp’s departure from the historic farm in 2016, Elbridge Stuart III, Debra Stuart, Sarah Stuart Oderyd and Daniel Oderyd, inspired by E. Stuart’s philanthropic legacy, founded Carnation Farms, a non-profit serving the community. Today:
