About the farm
Local Color Farm and Fiber is owned and operated by Emily Tzeng and Brian Love. We grow food, flowers, and fiber. We farm in the Puyallup River Valley of Washington and are excited to be growing fresh vegetables, heritage breed lamb, and naturally dyed fibers for your family.
We recognize the land we have the privilege of stewarding is stolen from the Puyallup Tribe. We believe that nutrient dense, colorfully diverse, and culturally appropriate foods should be available for everyone and are actively seeking ways to make this possible in our community.
