Description
Experienced organic grower is looking for new opportunity. I have 25 years of experience in organic market gardening and farming of fresh market produce. My farming background includes:
•Production primarily of vegetables and herbs, as well as apples, berries, flowers
•Direct marketing to restaurants, farmers markets, retail stores
•Managed own farm business with partner since 1990 (doing business as Lombrici's in Seattle restaurant trade and now Dunbar Gardens in Skagit Valley)
•Managed small farm for non profit group working on hunger and homeless issues (Martin's Farm in Tacoma)
•Organized organic farm plans
•Use of both hand and mechanized farm tools
•Started as a Tilth apprentice in 1982 (Sunbow Farm in Philomath, OR. and then at Dungeness Organic Produce near Sequim,WA.)
Since my wife has become an accomplished willow basketmaker, our farm is moving away from fresh produce sales to basketry willow (see our website). So for the right opportunity I am willing to put my experience to work for another farm or organization. We own our home and land in Skagit Valley, so I prefer to work nearby; but would consider re-locating for the right offer. Contact me if you would like to discuss a job.
