At Regeneration Farm we steward leased, unceded Sammamish Land. We are building a functioning wetland agroforestry education farm. We provide our communities with a healthy source of local food, plants and knowledge. We partner with food access programs to make the food we grow accessible beyond those who can afford organic prices. We sell to restaurants who value the earth and treat both food and people with respect. We process our crops and animals into value added products and sell directly to the community we are part of. We constantly strive to run our farm on the triple bottom line of economic, environmental and social sustainability - as challenging as that can be. To do this we use a diversified approach including food production, educational workshops and events, off-farm consulting, and sales of regenerative, medicinal and edible plants. This is set within the context of stewarding our two acre plot of land to provide maximum environmental benefit (including carbon sequestration via topsoil creation and tree planting), ecosystem health and on-farm productivity.
Our Methods
We produce the highest quality, nutrient dense, healthy foods and plant-based medicines. Regeneration Farm is committed to long term regeneration of degraded or underused lands, ecosystems, soil, local economies and food systems. We are actively engaged in this process on our farm and on numerous other lands throughout the Pacific Northwest. We run our farm with the most current sustainable agriculture best practices, practically all of which are taken directly from the knowledge and practices of indigenous peoples around the world. It is time this appropriation is recognized. The clearest path towards global and regional regeneration is through returning land to indigenous stewardship. We do not irrigate our crops, do not till, always cover over barren soil, cover crop our fields, never spray pesticides, herbicides, or any chemical fertilizers or materials. We follow organic practices, holistically rotate our animals for pasture rehabilitation and fertilization, keep bees, and plant a diversity of vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, trees and medicinal plants. We utilize multi-layer plantings of both annual and perennial crops together in an agroforestry system to increase our on farm biodiversity, soil health, and our moisture and nutrient cycling. Through this system we diversify what we produce, add resilience to our livelihoods, extend our harvest seasons and create beneficial microclimates for our products to grow. We hope you will join us in this process of learning and stewarding towards regeneration!
What We Value
It is our mission to produce healthy food and plants while building a diverse farm and human ecosystem and educating about landscape and community regeneration, learning and living a culture of sustainability, and normalizing methods for carbon sequestration and resilience in the face of climate change.
We seek to create ecologically abundant, accessible and resilient models for land stewardship, to educate and advocate for food sovereignty and for the shifts necessary for viable and replicable responses to the environmental, social and economic crisis of our times.
At Regeneration Farm we place the utmost value in our family and community. We greatly value health, both human, environmental, and global. Self-determination and environmental justice drive what we do. Each of the following also plays a central role in how we operate and how we define our values: cultivating humanity; building resilience; taking action; rooting in a place; striving for balance; acting with love.
