Long Way Farm

Long Way Farm is a half-acre vegetable and cut flower farm in Carnation on the ancestral, unceded land of Coast Salish people. The farm was started in 2022, and is run solely by its two co-owners, Martie and Chloe, who met working at another farm in the Snoqualmie Valley in 2019. After sustaining chronic-use injuries, both Martie and Chloe wanted to start a farm that would allow them to continue the work they loved without further injury, and to create a space where physical and mental health of the people working on the land is prioritized as much as the health of the land is. We currently rent land that is owned by King County and managed by the SnoValley Tilth Experience Farming Project.

Although we are not yet certified, we strictly follow all Organic and Certified Naturally Grown practices. We do not use any synthetic sprays to control weeds and pests. We use a combination of hand and mechanical weeding as well as mulching to control weeds, and use only OMRI-listed soil amendments and pest control products (if necessary). We also strive to build soil health through the use of crop rotation, cover crops, and compost.
