The PNW Wool Producers Cooperative has Officially Incorporated
It has been a long journey, but the PNW Wool Producers Cooperative has officially incorporated. So what is it, and how did it begin? At its core, the cooperative reflects a classic story of producers coming together to create scale and solve shared challenges within their industry. In late 2021, sheep and wool producers in the Pacific…
The December floods may feel like a distant memory, but their impacts are still being felt across our farming community today.
We’re grateful to share a final update on the Skagit Flood Relief Program and, most importantly, to thank everyone who helped make this effort possible.
Through this program, $110,000 was awarded to 20 farms across Skagit County, providing direct support to agricultural producers impacted by flooding.
Because of your generosity, farmers were able to sustain their livelihoods, restore operations, and continue building a more resilient agricultural community.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all local and nonlocal donors who contributed through the Skagit Community Foundation whose support served as the foundation for this initial relief effort.
We also want to recognize Skagitonians to Preserve Farmland, Driscoll's, Skagit Valley Food Co-op, Breadfarm, Puget Sound Food Hub, Anacortes Food Coop, Soroptimist International of Anacortes, and several private donors for their significant contributions.
We are proud of the collaborative process behind this program and grateful for the trust, responsiveness, and partnership of the farmers who participated. This effort highlights both the need for accessible, flexible relief resources and the strength of a community that comes together when support is needed most.
Thank you again to everyone who invested in Skagit County agriculture and stood alongside the farm families impacted by flooding. 💚 ... See MoreSee Less

Last Monday, we carried out our 12th food distribution project alongside Catholic Community Services of Western Washington, and this was likely our freshest box yet!
Thanks to a generous donation from an anonymous community member, we were able to host a food distribution project earlier in the year, at the start of the growing season rather than our usual end-of-season timing. As a result, boxes featured a variety of fresh, culturally relevant produce, including epazote, hierba buena, papalo, green garlic, and—of course, given that it is June—plenty of fresh strawberries. 🍓🍓🍓
Boxes also included fresh eggs from El Gallo Wholesale and dried beans from last season's harvest, grown by @Verduras Organicas Mexicanas and Gonzalez Farm. Together, these items made for a well-rounded box that was distributed to more than 75 families.
We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with Catholic Community Services Farmworker Center, as well as for everyone who has supported previous iterations of this project. Providing culturally relevant food that is both grown by and distributed within the community is at the heart of this work.
If you or your organization would like to make a donation to support our next food distribution project, or if you'd like to explore opportunities to collaborate and help scale this initiative, please contact alex@agbizcenter.org.
El pasado lunes llevamos a cabo nuestro 12.º proyecto de distribución de alimentos junto con CCSFWC, ¡y probablemente fue la caja más fresca que hemos entregado hasta ahora!
Gracias a una generosa donación de un miembro anónimo de la comunidad, pudimos realizar una distribución de alimentos más temprano en el año, al inicio de la temporada en lugar de hacerlo al final de la temporada, como acostumbramos. Como resultado, las cajas incluyeron una gran variedad de productos frescos y culturalmente relevantes, entre ellos epazote, hierbabuena, pápalo, ajo tierno y, por supuesto, dado que estamos en junio, muchas fresas recién cosechadas 🍓🍓🍓
Las cajas también incluyeron huevos frescos de El Gallo Wholesale y frijoles secos de la cosecha de la temporada pasada, cultivados por Verduras Orgánicas Mexicanas y Gonzalez Farm. En conjunto, estos alimentos conformaron una caja muy completa que fue distribuida a más de 75 familias.
Estamos profundamente agradecidos por nuestra colaboración con Catholic Community Services Farmworker Center, así como con todas las personas que han apoyado las ediciones anteriores de este proyecto. Proveer alimentos culturalmente relevantes, cultivados por la propia comunidad y distribuidos dentro de ella, es el corazón de este trabajo.
Si usted o su organización desean hacer una donación para apoyar nuestro próximo proyecto de distribución de alimentos, o si les interesa explorar oportunidades de colaboración para ampliar el alcance de esta iniciativa, por favor comuníquense con alex@agbizcenter.org.
