Starvation Alley Farms

Starvation Alley Farms Organic Cranberries in Long Beach, Washington We hope to change that. Now, it is where we live and work on our family farm.

Starvation Alley Farms is a 10-acre transitional organic farm founded in 2010 with the belief that cranberries could be grown on the Long Beach Peninsula without the use of harmful chemicals or soil-destroying fertilizers. Traditionally in the Pacific Northwest cranberries have presented too many challenges for area-farmers to believe organic harvests are possible. In fact, of the 1700 acres under

production in Washington State we will be the first farm (hopefully of many) to be officially USDA certified organic. "Starvation Alley" as deemed during the Great Depression was the road on the Peninsula that housed all of the hard working, poor migrant farmers. Our name is an ode to those that came before us, and our hearts go out to everyone still working hard for food. We sincerely thank you for your support.

Happy New Year! We know news travels fast, so you may have known we ended 2018 with heavy hearts, telling our customers, friends, and supporters that Starvation Alley is closing its doors on producing juice and value-adding products.

However 2019 doesn't have to lack in the garnet goodness! Our friends stocked up our juice and are making incredible Cranberry Liqueur - a great substitute for our juice if you were using it in cocktails. Check them out and enjoy - they are also from Long Beach Washington and are true family to us.

Thank you for your love of local cranberries. This is not the end of cranberries for us, it's just the next chapter. We wrote a Community Letter that explains more in-depth the situation along with some reflection and gratitude that you can read on our website.

In the meantime we raise a glass of this nectar to toast to 2019.

Flashback to 2016. Next week will be our 10th harvest and as always we're filled with excitement, anxiety, pride, and uncertainty. Organic cranberries were a risk we were willing to take even when many said "no way". While we probably could have done things differently, at least we can say we did them our way (luckily with some incredible riends to support us). Get ready for a bunch of new harvest photos next week! 📸

🔶 Many Hands Make Light Work 🔶 Our friend and amazing photographer just sent us some photos of our 2016 Harvest! Not only do we appreciate extra hands for harvest, we're grateful for the help to tell our story. Mikey's world is usually rockier, colder, and taller but he was quick to jump in the bog and learn the world of cranberries with us. Get ready to behind the boom next year Mikey!

🔺Spring Lifting🔺 The vines are shaking off the frost and temps are (slowly) rising. A lot can happen in 7 months before harvest - on the land, amongst our community, and in our lives - but we're thankful it includes our family, friends, and partners of the farm. Jared, thr epitome of work hard, play hard. 📸
