Description

Salt Creek Farm is a small scale certified organic family farm located on the west side of Port Angeles. For the past 18 years we have been supporting our community with a seasonal abundance of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Our GOALS are to: Reconnect people to the source of their food. Provide nutritious organic food for the local community. Farm in a responsible way that not only maintains but improves soil fertility. Help to vitalize small-scall agriculture on the North Olympic Peninsula. HOW DOES IT WORK? Once a week, on Fridays, shares are harvested and delivered. With each share box, we will include a crop sheet that tells you what is in that weeks share box, along with recipes and farm news. Shares are purchased before the growing season begins. We feel that a full share is enough food to compliment the average menu of a family of four or 1-2 people eating primarily vegetarian. Smaller households may find it more convenient to split a share with someone else or purchase a half share. Single shares are designed for singles or older couples or those with smaller appetites. It includes salad mix and two other vegetables available that week. Other than growing your own garden, our produce is the tastiest and most nutritious you can eat. Children in particular benefit from visits to the farm and begin to understand that not all food comes from the grocery store. Certified organic means that your family can rest assured that your produce is free from synthetic perticides, herbicides and fertilizers. WORKING MEMBERS Similar to a food cooperative, we offer both working and non working options. As a working member or family, we ask that you devote 16 hrs. a season to working on the farm. Working members who put their time, sweat, and hands into the soil are a real asset, helping at harvest, weeding, transplanting, etc. FREE SHARES are available to anyone who is willing to become a member of our harvest crew. Crew members must be able to commit to help pick and distribute produce for 4 hours on Thursdays or Fridays each week for the entire season.
