I don't know quite when this veggie obsession developed, but it started young. As a child, I loved exploring my grandmother’s huge vegetable garden on her farm in Illinois. “Farmer” has been on every list I’ve ever made of what to be when I grow up. I was a gardener, food writer, science educator, and small business owner for many years in New Mexico. After returning to Seattle, I worked part time at Local Roots Farm for a couple of years, then finally took the plunge into the Viva Farms incubator program. Looking back, I realize I’ve been moving toward farming my whole life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/390212b3-5dbd-40c2-84b9-c8f9d3f6928e/20210815_114647.jpg About us - Katy Farming has always been a life goal of mine, even though at times I didn’t know it was a career option. It started with a love for the outdoors and having an understanding of where food comes from. Growing up in Washington gave me the opportunity to experience nature and the multitudes of interactions that occur between living beings. I was able to witness the effects of human consumption on the world around me. Now I am driven to be part of a more sustainable system that can support everyone and everything in our local environment. https://www.bumblebee-farm.com/home daily 1.0 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/ac0a0ef6-e6ed-4f35-bddf-736dfd10e83a/IMG_2834.jpg Home - Flavor-focused We specialize in unusually delicious and spectacularly beautiful varieties of vegetables and herbs. Some of our favorites are heirloom tomatoes, beans, and gorgeous chicories like frisee and radicchio. Growing and eating on a local scale allows people to taste varieties of produce that are rare now because they weren’t bred for shipping. Many of the varieties we grow are on the Slow Food Ark of Taste, a listing of heirloom varieties around the world with exceptional flavor and cultural significance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/1622140464088-0VLCEL6NEN43OU6EELFJ/Bumblebee+on+borage.jpg Home - Native pollinator-friendly Bumblebees and other native pollinators boost productivity and flavor for many crops. We provide habitat where they can thrive, and they help us in return. By dedicating some of our planting space to flowers, we attract pollinators as well as predatory insects that help control pests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/ec3329be-7870-4c3e-a9cb-ef35d3f8894c/FA974958-EDF6-4692-B2D8-DB6422E95FBE.jpg Home - Organic no-till growing We farm organically to protect water and wildlife. Our farm is located along Patterson Creek between Redmond and Fall City, WA. With salmon running in the stream and eagles in the trees, we want to be good stewards of our ecosystem. We got our start at the Viva Farms incubator program in Woodinville, where we got a solid foundation in organic procedures and recordkeeping. We continue to strictly follow all the organic practices we learned at Viva, and we’re working toward our own organic certification. In addition, we practice no-till farming, which goes even further to build healthy, living soil. This means we try not to turn over the soil when we prepare beds, and we keep our beds planted or mulched as much as possible to support a rich community of microorganisms and fungi in the soil. The more scientists learn about this biological activity, the more they realize the key role it plays in nutrient availability, plant health, and pest and disease resistance. https://www.bumblebee-farm.com/csa-signup daily 0.75 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/12fd0c36-5db1-42a3-a033-62dade1d0a36/IMG_1994.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/1869483b-94f6-4e7a-9263-a613a3dfcce2/Spinach.jpg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/1644547618742-TJS52MH4H8MTRRSSGPEG/IMG_2211.jpg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/6bc61ea2-2063-4e8a-bc49-07406c10a077/IMG_2407.jpg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/ec97bf2a-7631-4d37-9392-1475a4144c27/IMG_2526.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/8e4b9390-81ae-4f0c-8528-2b6b317a877e/IMG_2382.jpg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/378d21ed-0bdc-47f3-9754-136716efa9c0/IMG_2590.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/5bdd198e-eebc-46b2-989e-79cab99894e1/IMG_0315.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/f57f2770-05cc-4d90-9a23-adaa61270ac0/IMG_2928.jpg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/5ab20ba9-6d29-46fd-9fc1-e72c820575b7/IMG_2464.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/e60b564e-c815-4207-b877-cc79678940f3/IMG_2923.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/a99af91f-2450-4e8c-8793-129e422ff3e8/IMG_2465.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/66cdfa69-69e6-49ab-9fa9-80ca3a9f1ef5/IMG_3006.JPG Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/08c2e916-d14c-4c84-adf1-70bdc81bad78/IMG_0983.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/31499603-1803-4f8f-af68-4904b8864c65/IMG_2983.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/2e03e4ce-ab9f-4304-8589-2f866b111ba8/IMG_3017.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/6db1e8a0-28f6-4459-a053-e9ddd962d355/IMG_3348.jpeg Main Season CSA signup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/49f3eba1-c433-4ee7-a466-05860777936c/tempImageWD71Iv.jpg Main Season CSA signup - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600770acd4535b44c9000568/f8f94860-f6bd-4a5c-94d4-00ceb7592e7f/IMG_2794.jpg Main Season CSA signup - Get the freshest produce, know where your food comes from Straight from the farm to you!

Anticipation is part of the joy of eating seasonally. In March and April we’re savoring the last of our storage crops and the very few earliest spring greens like arugula. In May, it’s finally time for the first lettuces and herbs, Asian greens, quick growing cold-hardy radishes and turnips, and amazing overwintered crops like leeks, green garlic, and purple sprouting broccoli. We love growing produce you can’t find in grocery stores. Have you ever tasted purple scallions, speckled butterhead lettuce, or fancy fluffy frisee? How about chrysanthemum greens, pea shoots, or sorrel?
