Farm Happenings at Spoon Full Farm
May 5 Eggs and Beef
Dear Spoon Full Farm Family:
It feels good to be connected. As life emerges from the warming earth, we feel connected to new growth of nature, and we are delighted to share that connection with you.
Last week, we five spoons took a walk along the river. It had been far too long since we1 read more »
Vibrant Awakenings at Spoon Full
Dear Spoon Full Farm Family,
Every place on this earth is different from every other. Yes, Spoon Full Farm is very different from Seattle (dry, sunny, colder, hotter), but it's also different from the nearest agricultural valleys to our north and south (Wenatchee and Yakima). The main difference is1 read more »
Mid-April Farm Happenings
Dear Spoon Full Farm Family,
This week marks the beginning of irrigation season, here at the farm! Soon sprinklers will be whirring all over the farm, and drip lines will be dripping peacefully into growing garden beds.
All of this water means that we can put our chickens wherever we want, on1 read more »
Goat Kiddos!
Long day in the sunny wind (moving cattle, planting strawberries(!), preparing garden beds) means short farm update. Luckily, photos of goat kids make up for all sorts of overwhelm.
Green grass on the hills around us (for a moment. Soon gold.), wildflowers budding, river running high and silt1 read more »
The first briskets of Spring
Dear Spoon Full Farm Family,
Now that the days are longer than the nights, the land begins to awaken. Birds titter in the trees. In the garden, we dig through the soft soil to unearth the first briskets of Spring. These large pieces of deliciousness grow all winter long, before we harvest them for1 read more »
FEEST. Goodbye snow, hello dogs
Dear Spoon Full Farm Family:
The newest entry in the Spoon Full Journal is about our partnership with FEEST (Food Empowerment Education Sustainability Team) - an incredible organization to which Spoon Full CSA members have donated hundreds of dollars worth of amazing food.
The partnership is1 read more »
Happy Equinox
Dear Spoon Full Farm Family:
The birds are positively melodious, celebrating the victory of daylight with brilliant chitters. The snow is melting, the river is coursing high. Soon the spring winds will arrive!
The wheels of activity are beginning to turn, at the farm. The main greenhous1 read more »
March 17 - St. Patrick's Day!
Dear Spoon Full Farm Family,
It's curious and wonderful how holidays accrue certain types of food. Turkey was a "last resort" food for the Indians in New England - but at that point, the settlers were just thankful to be eating at all. Halloween has its candy (why?), and Easter has its eggs (becaus1 read more »
Late Winter
Dear Spoon Full Farm Family,
The budget is done. The grants are written. The garden is planned.
700 hot pepper seeds have germinated in the hot house, reaching for the returning sun. The chickens bustle through the day, enjoying their local feed. You can learn more about that local feed at ht1 read more »
About the farm
Nestled on the shore of the cold, clear upper Yakima River, Spoon Full Farm has converted a conventional export hay operation into a biodiverse, productive, regenerative ecological food farm. Our no-till garden produces delicious, vital produce. Our rotational-grazing pastures create rich, humane grass-fed meat and eggs. 140 acres of native wildland provides rich pollen and nectar that becomes incredible honey. In our commercial kitchen, we ferment our own produce into probioitic, delicious sauerkraut and hot sauce. Our produce CSA starts in June, but meat, eggs, honey, and ferments are available all year-round! We deliver to the Seattle area and Ellensburg.
