Our Mission:
Our Program:
We have many different opportunities for involvement on and off the farm. Some are very hands on; weeding, helping make handmade paper, watering, etc. Others are less direct, but equally as important: donating tools, financial donations, or spreading the word about our program. The farm is also always willing to be the grateful recipient of overcrowded perennials from your yard! If you would like to come help set-up, take down or help sell at one of our farmers markets or at a craft show we would love to have the company, come for an hour or the entire day.
During the summer, we have extended greenhouse hours and sell at the Tacoma Farmer's Market on Tuesday Evenings and Thursdays, and the Proctor Farmer's Market on Saturdays. Fall brings our Harvest Fest and we also sell a variety of craft and holiday items during the winter months, both on the Farm and at craft shows. For a detailed Events Schedule, click here. If you are interested in being a part of our work program in any way, please fill out the Get Involved! form and someone will contact you as soon as possible, or e-mail us at larchefarm@hotmail.com. If you prefer the phone, please call us at (253) 537-7871. |
