Harvesting Resilience

posted on

October 10, 2024

Our region boasts a rich tapestry of organic farms, regenerative ranches, and forward-thinking restaurants committed to sourcing ingredients from local producers and growers.

At Colvin Ranch, we focus on regenerative agricultural practices that help native plants and animals thrive alongside our livestock. Our ranch is home to some of the last remaining native prairies in Southwest Washington, and is protected by a conservation easement to ensure it will remain prairie forever. 

Over five generations, we've found that what's best for the land and the animals, is best for people, too. So while our stewardship of the land benefits the environment, it also helps us raise the best grass-fed, grass-finished beef available. 

Learn more about how farmers, ranchers, and chefs are harvesting resilience and working together to create a vibrant South Sound food scene.

Eat Local Month With The Thurston County Food Bank

September is Eat Local Month in Washington, and while we often think about eating local when it comes to shopping at farmers' markets or dining at locally-owned restaurants, we want to recognize those working to make fresh, local food accessible to everyone in our community.
