Deep Harvest Farm Tour

Deep Harvest Farm Tour

Deep Harvest Farm on Whidbey Island grows vegetables and flowers that furnish some of the best restaurants on the island and provide seeds to select nurseries (including Swansons!). Our annual plant buyer, Liane, and I had the opportunity to tour their gorgeous farm and we want to share it with you. We think it’s special and we know you will, too!

A Leafy Road Trip: Visiting Bailey Nurseries in Oregon

With fall just around the corner, I accompanied our Tree and Shrub Buyer, Gabriel Maki, on a visit to a few of our favorite Oregon growers to check out some of the plants they are raising. Many of the plants we saw will be at their peak and in full bloom this fall.

As most Seattle foodies know, our chefs and local farmers generally have a symbiotic relationship. Chefs haunt our neighborhood farmers markets in the early hours of the morning to snap up the freshest produce, they search out the most flavorful artisanal cheeses the region has to offer; sometimes chefs even grows their own herbs and veggies on a restaurant rooftop or patio.
