Long Way Farm

About Us

Long Way Farm is a half-acre vegetable and cut flower farm in the Snoqualmie Valley. The farm was started in 2022, and is run solely by its two co-owners, Martie and Chloe, who met working at a farm in the Snoqualmie Valley back in 2019. After sustaining chronic-use injuries, both Martie and Chloe wanted to try 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.

Growing & Operating Practices

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. As we are along the Snoqualmie River, the farm floods seasonally, meaning that any products we apply or leave behind throughout the growing season will be carried away by the river in the winter. We are therefore extremely careful about what we put into the soil.
