Absolutely! Stop by our farmstand during business hours or visit our delivery company, Sound Bites Delivers, for the best of the Puget Sound shipped directly to your door.

Yes, we are certified organic through the WSDA, and we hold a GAP food safety certification from the USDA.

Sound Sustainable Farms is devoted to building and maintaining healthy soils by using compost as the primary nutrient input in our fields. We do not use synthetic insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers.

The peak season is June - November. This is when the bulk of our products are being harvested. We do have some crops that last into the winter like Kale, Spinach, Beets, Carrots, and Brussels, as well as some early spring crops like Arugula, Spinach, Radish, and Lettuce.

Yes, we do bring in crops that we don’t grow ourselves to sell in our farm stand, things like mushrooms, apples and stone fruit. In the off-season, we source organic produce to supplement our farm stand offerings in the winter. We also sell our produce to other farms who may need the crops we grow, because the truth is, farming is a community more than a competition. The USDA estimates that in the US, only 1.5% of agricultural production is local. It is much better to work together than to compete.

Yes, we do! For more information on our CSA program visit www.soundsfarms.com/csa

We currently grow over 50 varieties of vegetables onsite. Since the list is so long, we have a page here that shows some of these crops when in season.

We love to do tours for the community here at the farm! In the summer and fall, we try to have a monthly tour scheduled, and we can also provide field trips for schools.

If you are interested in arranging a group tour, please reach out via our contact form!

Information on our upcoming events can be found on our What's Happening page.

We do not currently offer any U-Pick opportunities. We are asked about this often, so it could be something we will offer in the future.

Sorry, but no pets are allowed at the farm. Our organic and food safety licenses prohibit this. We also do not allow pets in our farm stand, in compliance with food safety regulations. Service dogs are always welcome.

Yes, visit our farmstand for local organic seeds from Deep Harvest Seeds, as well as vegetable starts grown right here in our greenhouse or sourced from other local farms. Starts are typically available starting sometime in April.

All the produce that we grow on our farm is certified organic. From the farmstand to the very end of the field is less than half a mile, we'd call that local! However, we do source other produce for the farm stand. Our commitment during the growing season is to only carry our own produce or produce from other local (Washington) farms. The farms that we partner with in Washington are either certified organic or are following organic farming practices. In the off-season, we will source certified organic produce from outside the state when necessary, so we can stay open year-round and still offer a good variety of quality produce to our customers.

We do not currently sell at Farmers’ Markets, although this is something we are working toward. We have hosted pop-up farm stands at local businesses. Interested in having a pop-up farm stand at your business or event? Contact us for details!
