Springrain Farm And Orchard, Inc.

What Springrain Farm And Orchard, Inc. does

SpringRain Farm & Orchard, Inc. is a certified organic family farm operating on 26 acres of prime agricultural land in Chimacum, Washington. The farm runs a diversified production system spanning organic berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants, gooseberries, marionberries, boysenberries, sylvanberries), over 50 varieties of antique apples and pears, heirloom greenhouse tomatoes, mixed salad greens, peppers, basil, and value-added farmstead jams and pestos. It also raises pasture-raised chicken (Chimacum Rangers), White Pekin duck, forage-fed rabbit, and duck eggs in an integrated closed-loop system where ducks perform pest control in blueberry fields, chicken manure fertilizes greenhouses, and orchard trimmings feed rabbits.

The underlying agronomic technology combines seven unheated greenhouses for counter-cyclical crop production (salad greens in winter, hot-season crops in summer, microgreens year-round) with a continuous on-farm heirloom tomato breeding program that annually saves seed from best-performing plants. The farm is partially electrified by solar (15-20% of electricity) and uses electric trucks for on-farm transport. It is protected by a permanent conservation easement held by Jefferson Land Trust, and partners with the USDA, Jefferson Conservation District, and the Olympic Salmon Coalition on soil, water, and salmon-habitat restoration. Certification is organic, with no patents, no app, and no API infrastructure.

The business model is direct-to-consumer across three channels: a self-service honor-system farm stand open year-round on the property; the Ballard Farmers Market (Sundays) and Port Townsend Farmers Market (Saturdays); and a delivery partnership with Key City Fish that supplies fine-dining restaurants across the Pacific Northwest with duck and other products. All revenue is generated within a 100-mile radius of the farm. Customers are local community members prioritizing organic, locally produced, ethically raised food, plus a smaller enterprise segment of Pacific Northwest restaurants. Headcount is 4-6, with two new plant care specialist roles open for the 2026 season. No revenue, funding, or institutional investment is disclosed.
