FARM INFO
Webiste: www.cloudviewecofarm.
Cloudview EcoFarms main farm is near Royal City, WA, in sunny and hot Central Washington, about 45 miles east of Ellensburg. We irrigate with Columbia River water to grow a variety of crops. We are always working towards a more sustainable and ecological farming model. A large portion of the vegetable growing land is certified organic. A great deal of the apple orchard is certified organic and the orchards in general are Food Alliance Certified.
We grow for farmers markets, an 85 person CSA, grocery stores, restaurants, institutions, and schools.
- Farming Overview -
15 acre vegetable farm connected to a separate 150 acre farm
Several acres of heirloom and specialty apples
Small herd of nubian goats for milk and meat
Flock of chickens for eggs and meat
Pigs for meat and eating all the gardening / food scraps
Flower beds, medicinal and culinary herbs
Seed saving
There are 8-16 people working on the main farm at any given time. We have group meals, meetings, special events, and of course much work around the gardens and farms. We also dry, can, and freeze as much food as we can for the winter, grind our own grain, grow our own dried beans and corn, and save many of our own seeds. We welcome diversity, many different kinds of people work on the farm. We have a communal ethic around recycling, composting, yard and landscape tending, and animal care.
