Do you know where your food comes from?

Why Farm & Fermentation exists.

As a society, we've gotten too disconnected from our food supply chain and the land that produces it. We've seen flooding because our soil is sick. We add artificial nutrients to meat and dairy because the animals are deprived of healthy living conditions. Every decade we add new "fixes" to problems that we caused ourselves with the last round of "fixes".

This isn't something we're going to fix overnight, nor is it something that everyone can change individually all at once. We're not all going to get a family cow and a flock of chickens and a full garden. But we can learn about how all that works and where (locally) people are doing that to provide for themselves and others. We can find farmstores and local grocers (and even some national chains) that carry local meat, produce, and artisanal goods and restaurants that source these items. And we can even get involved ourselves, to whatever extent we are comfortable and capable.

At Farm & Fermentation, we want to make all of these resources available. While some aspects are local (we'll tend to highlight farms and businesses in Whatcom, Skagit, and San Juan counties), many aspects of farming, gardening, finding good healthy food, and fermenting, culturing, and curing food are globally applicable. We hope you enjoy what we've built here!
