Colin and Genine have farmed together for about 30 years, and these days their 60 acres at Kirsop Farm in Rochester are protected for good — they're farmland preservation partners, meaning the land can never be sold out from under them.
Kirsop Farm is known for a lot more than vegetables, though the carrots and kale get plenty of praise. Colin mills his own grain into flour and rolled oats. Their pastured chickens are processed right on the farm into meat, broth, and stock. Genine grows marigolds for garlands and blooms, and there's a flock of sheep too, raised for meat, wool, and tallow.
Most of their business happens at two year-round Seattle farmers markets, where they're also part of Growing for Good, a program that turns everyday shopper donations into food for local food banks. Working with the Food Hub let them shift toward growing more of fewer crops for your box, instead of trying to grow a little of everything.
Certified organic, deeply rooted, and one of the farms behind your Harvest Box this season.
