Jones Creek Farms: Bringing People Closer to Their Food
We’re delighted to celebrate Jones Creek Farms as one of our illustrious Snail of Approval awardees!
Tucked into the Skagit Valley, Jones Creek Farms is a small, family-run orchard where good food begins with care; for the land, the fruit, and the people who come to gather it. Stewards Les and Lyn Price have been tending this farm since 1991, restoring its relationship with the surrounding ecosystem and cultivating a holistic approach that supports everything from healthy soil to the salmon-bearing creek that runs alongside it.
By growing locally adapted apple varieties like Gravenstein, McIntosh, and Northern Spy alongside pears, figs, peaches, and garlic, they’re able to farm in rhythm with their environment, using fewer inputs while producing deeply flavorful, nourishing fruit.
At the heart of Jones Creek Farms is the joy of connection. Their U-Pick orchard invites the community to slow down, step into the landscape, and experience the simple pleasure of harvesting fresh, tree-ripened apples. It’s an approach that not only makes fresh food more accessible but also builds lasting relationships between people and the source of their food.
Whether you’re visiting the farm or finding them at the Capitol Hill Farmers Market, Jones Creek Farms offers something special: an invitation to eat well, live well, and savor the season.
Congratulations to Les and Lyn on this well-deserved recognition!
