Farm Happening May 4th - 10th - Farm Happenings at Flat Tack Farm

Happy May and May the 4th be with you!!!

We're getting beds ready to plant like crazy! In the next couple of weeks we will be planting summer & winter squash, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, more greens (we usually plant every 2 weeks for a constant supply), edible flowers and herbs.

We just re-formed the back garden to be able to fit more crops in this year! We're going to be growing more than we've ever grown due to demand for fresh, local veggies and an increase in our memberships this year. Our membership is almost filled up for the season!

Thank you all so much for your support!!!

The Vancouver farmers Market has opened for the season and we are going to be offering produce for sale on their website,also. There are also lots of other vendors you can order from and pick up an aggregated order on Sunday from the Slocum House on Ester Short St. Check it out at:

Stay strong and plant on,

Your farmers Kelly & Patrick

Flat Tack is a small scale farm nestled within the serene vineyard setting of Heathen Estate in Vancouver, Washington. The farm was started in 2017 by co-farmers Kelly and Patrick. Flat Tack Farm specializes in growing a wide variety of produce and is working on organic certification. We grow all of our food without the use of harmful pesticides, chemicals, or synthetic fertilizers; while focusing on improving the land to a healthier state using holistic, all natural practices. The current cultivated area is around 2 acres and is farmed using intensive methods that focus on low tillage and integrating Permaculture (permanent agriculture: creating natural eco-systems designed to be sustainable and self-sufficient) practices into our gardens. Flat Tack Farm focuses on growing heirloom, rare and unique varieties of produce. https://flat-tack-farm.ueniweb.com/

We also believe in collaboration to grow a stronger food system! We partner with other local farmer friends to bring more abundance of sustainably grown food and farm products to our community!
A few of our growing partners are: Sprout and Blossom Farm, Columbia River Mushrooms, Volehalla Farm, and our neighbors. Our locally raised pastured beef share comes from Windy River Livestock in Washougal, WA. We also have locally baked bread from Bleu Door Bakery available as an add on. By combining in a cooperative effort the farmers can join forces to expand their operations and help more of our community members have access to locally grown goodness.
