Greenbank Farm Training Center

765 Wonn Road
360-222-3171

In 2010, our certified organic fields will be managed by experienced farmer Sebastian Aguilar along with the students of the Greenbank Farm Training Center. The weekly farm share will contain an average of 10 produce items per week with a focus on providing an abundance of staples such as lettuce, carrots, and tomatoes while offering tastes of specialty crops such as salad turnips, brussel sprouts, and bok-choi. This usually provides couples (and small families) who likes to cook, their vegetable needs for the week. Regular newsletters will offer news and recipes to keep you informed and adept in the kitchen. Opportunities to visit (and volunteer in) the fields offer a chance to connect with your farmers and deepen your awareness of land, food and self. We strive to offer good value with our produce and our share price of $450 is 20% below its retail value. Several pick-up sites will serve members from Oak Harbor to Langley.

The Greenbank Farm Training Center offers a farmer training program that trains participants in sustainable crop production, small business management, and ecological land stewardship. Located on the 500-acre, community-owned, Greenbank Farm, we also provide our community with top-quality, certified organic produce through our CSA program as well as through local retail outlets.

With the guidance of experienced farmer/instructor Sebastian Aguilar, 9 farmer-trainees grow 2 acres of vegetables for sale through a 50 member CSA. We realize and teach that to be successful in sustainable agriculture, we must work in harmony with the processes of nature. In our fields, we use compost, cover crops and natural minerals to create optimum living conditions for our crops and soil biology.
