About Us

Cloud Mountain Farm Center is an educational farm in Everson, WA dedicated to building a resilient and diversified food system. Our own on-farm production specializes in regionally adapted tree and vine fruit; we model organic orchard and vineyard management on our home farm, sharing the expertise, challenge, and joy of Western Washington fruit production from home scale to farm scale. We host on-farm events and workshops throughout the year to connect growers and eaters with all that can be grown in our beautiful county and operate a seasonal retail nursery stocked with regionally adapted edible plants, unique fruit trees, and a diverse collection of specialty ornamentals that thrive in our climate.

We support our local food system and fellow farmers by offering cooler and dry storage space for local growers and aggregation for Twin Sisters Farmers Market and the Puget Sound Food Hub, and have a rentable WSDA certified processing kitchen.

Come visit us on farm and at the Bellingham Farmers Market July-October!

Growing & Operating Practices

All of our fresh dessert fruit is WSDA Certified Organic. We focus on soil, plant, and overall ecosystem health in our approach to orchard/vineyard management.
