Skagit Valley Farmers is my video journal of personal stories told by the women and men who farm Skagit Valley. Learn about their families, sacrifices, mentors, hobbies, ag issues, organic+conventional farming from field to office. We need more farmers. BUY something GROW something SAY something. My name is Denice and I'm an urban gal who made a rural transition and wants to connect you with Skagit farmers. I ♥ DRIVING TRACTORS and farm equipment.

Featured Farmer - Dan Leuthy at Viva Farms
Dan Leuthy organically and sustainably farms a variety of crops on an acre of land at Viva Farms.
During my visit on July 1st Dan shared a lot about himself and his journey into farming after a 20+ year career as a physical therapist. Dan's a natural storyteller and I think you'll find him as inspiring as I did.
Viva Farms is a joint venture of WSU Extension & GrowFood.org, an international non-profit dedicated to helping new farmers get started by providing land, equipment and infrastructure, education, training and technical assistance (bilingual- Eng/Esp), marketing and distribution support and start-up loans.
We can support Viva Farms with tax deductible donations, subscribing to getting CSA food boxes, and volunteering all of which can be done at their website.
