Well Fed Farms

Our Farm and Philosophy

Well Fed Farms is located in Bow, Washington in the fertile flats of the Skagit River Valley. We raise pastured pork, pastured poultry for eggs and meat and grow a wide variety of vegetables using natural environmentally sound methods. Diversity and balance are important parts of our farm. We believe that a good farming operation is one that encourages a diverse ecosystem, and where the land and inhabitants, both human and animal, all receive thoughtful care and consideration. As farmers, we are responsible for managing our land well so that it can provide food for both us and our animals. Our animals, in turn, supply us with meat and eggs and give back to the land with their natural fertilizer and by helping us to manage our pastures in a healthy way. We believe that land, animals and humans are all tied together in a natural bond and we feel that it is our responsibility to be sure that all three are well fed.
