Welcome back!

   Well, that was a long break from posting.  In the interim a lot has gone on.  We stopped the CSA, had another child, moved into microgreen production, and started selling direct to restaurants.  We are breaking in new land at the moment to expand our volume.  Most of our production is greens right now.  As the spring moves other items will be added.  I am looking forward to another season here at Silbaugh Family Farms, and hope you will join us in enjoying the fresh veggies grown on the Enumclaw plateau.

   Our plans for the future farming here are many.  We will be selling at Seattle farmers markets, continuing to develop our restaurant and chef relationships, and working at restarting our CSA for a winter greens season.  We anticipate putting up some new poly-tunnels for winter green production.  We will also add indoor grown shoots as well.  We have been growing shoots for our own use for a couple years now, and they are quite tasty.  We enjoy the sunflower and pea shoots together very much, they make a wonderful fresh and local produced salad when little will grow outdoors.  The mix sells for $15 a pound, so pick some up and enjoy!

  Have a great day, and thanks!
