About Us
Established in 1972.
Rodale Institute's Pacific Northwest Organic Center is situated on 90 acres in eastern Skagit Valley. Nestled along the Skagit River and the foothills of the North Cascades, this farm site has been farmed organically for over 50 years. As the birthplace of the Cascadian Farm brand of grocery products, this site has been at the forefront of the organic movement since the early 1970’s. With the donation of the farm site from General Mills in late 2022, Rodale Institute is utilizing this historic farm as our base of operations for researching best organic practices and transitioning organic farms in the Pacific Northwest.
