First Light Farm offers 8 different ways for you to become involved in our farm's life, increase your access to healthy foods, and deepen your relationship with the natural world:
1. BECOME a Member of First Light Farm:
We value our members. They are the heart of our farming community. For an annual fee of $35, you become a member of First Light Farm and can:
2. JOIN our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Program and receive weekly local produce
4. GROW Your Own Food: Become a Mini Farmer (a great summer-time activity for an individual or the whole family -- No Experience Needed!)
First Light Farm's WorkShare Program is for people who volunteer their time for a minimum of 4/hours/week throughout the summer to participate in the daily work of a farm, enjoy "getting their hands dirty", and learn the full cycle of eco-farming through hands-on experience in seed propagation, seeding, weeding, harvesting, selling as well as soil care and sustainable practices. Scheduling can be flexible. If you’re interested in joining our workshare program which starts in March and runs through October, email us at firstlightfarm84@gmail.com. We love our volunteers!
6. Participate in our Fall Family Festival. Each year, we design activities to give your family a special farm experience.
7. EDUCATE YOURSELF by taking classes (some on Zoom and some at the farm): learn new skills and gather new knowledge about food, health and well-being
First Light Farm's educational program provide opportunities for learning about how food, physical wellness and spiritual well-being are inter-related. The farm offers different opportunities to connect with new information, try new foods, make new friends, and rediscover a way of being that helps slow you down and opens up spaces for more joy and personal well-being.
7. Join the Stewards of the Farm program by making a financial contribution to help support the ongoing mission of the farm.
8. On Mondays, our farm is intentionally closed in order that the land might rest (from human activity) as well as provide opportunities for people who want to create a personal retreat where they can connect to the sacredness of the land and immerse themselves in an experience of re-connection. Donations are asked for this experience and will be given to the Snoqualmie Tribe as a thank you for the use of their land and for their teachings of the sacredness of land and all creation. If you want to set up a time on our farm on a Monday, please email us. You will be asked to be clear of your intention for your personal experience.
