What they do

Blanchard Mountain Farm is a 20-acre certified-organic farm in Bow, WA — Samish Flats, on Chuckanut Drive near Edison, Skagit County. Founded 2013. The operation retired from commercial annual-crop production at the end of the 2023 season, and is currently running a smaller program of perennial production:

  • Perennial herbs
  • Rhubarb
  • Cut flowers
  • Native Pacific Northwest plants — fruit, flower, and conifer crops grown for wholesale

The 20-acre property is also used to:

  • Host other wholesale farmers — sharing land, infrastructure, and a community working space
  • Rent out a guest house occasionally
  • Potentially run small classes/events at the intersection of agriculture, plants, landscape, and art

Ecological-restoration commitment: hundreds of native PNW plants have been reintroduced on the property over the past decade.

Retail status

[[the-farm-stand|The farm stand]] is permanently closed. No CSA. No direct-to-consumer retail. Production now moves through wholesale channels.

Why it’s listed

The transition from annual-vegetable commercial production to a perennial + native-plant + farmer-hosting model is itself a directory-relevant pattern — what happens when a [[farm|working farm]] reaches retirement and chooses to keep the land in low-intensity ecological production rather than selling out. [[directory|The directory]] tracks the operation in its current form as substrate-builder infrastructure (native-plant production + farmer incubation + ecological restoration).

Bioregional fit

Bow, WA is in Skagit County — the Samish Flats agricultural valley between Chuckanut Mountain and Padilla Bay, part of the [[puget-sound]] bioregion’s [[delmarva-peninsula|eastern shore]].
