Seed to Sol Farm



My neighbors at the Meadowbrook Farmers Market run Sol to Seed Farm, one of the newer farms in the area. It's always exciting to see new farms sprouting up: the hurdles are formidable, and it seems to take nothing short of a miracle and a leap of faith to make it happen.

Matt and Deanna started their farm last year on a parcel of land they bought from Jubilee Farm, in fact, it was their experience doing work share for Jubilee's CSA that made them realize that they wanted to get into farming.

They're currently vending at the Issaquah and Meadowbrook markets, and their own CSA is already full for the year. Their produce is beautiful, especially the kohlrabi. I look forward to crossing paths with them over time, and watching their enterprise evolve.
