Hi! We are your farmers, Taylor Barker and Arielle Luckmann. The two of us work full time on our farm, and share the responsibilities of all the diverse ins and outs of running a small farm business, from field work to bookkeeping. We both grew up in Western Washington, and met working on small organic farms in the Skagit Valley.
Arielle is grateful to do work that puts her outside most of the day. Cooking dinner and birding walks are two favorite hobbies, and she has played the fiddle for over 30 years. Find some of her past music at www.scarletlocomotive.com. (p.s A new band project is in the works!)
Taylor has worked on vegetable farms in Western Washington since 2012. He is a fan of plants in general, large breakfasts, and living in the estuary of the Skagit river. Some of his favorite animals are frogs, owls, and porcupines.
In 2023 we welcomed our daughter Pearl to the world, and are excited to watch her grow up in the Skagit Valley community we love so much.
