Sweet Hollow Farm is a multiracial, queer worker-owned cooperative farm growing vegetables & herbs on one acre of Coast Salish lands in Woodinville, WAWhat We Want, What We Believe
We believe in growing plants we love– foods from the uncommon, the unclaimed and reclaimed, the never homogenous or easy to pin down corners of where food becomes culture and praxis. Armed with the sensual, liberatory power of food and a love of complexity, we want to transform our relationship with food, land, and care. We want to build the models we need to end capitalism and see the de-commodified and liberated food systems we deserve. We believe that stewarding land and the foodshed is a form of community care, a way we practice interdependence with our environment and each other. We want that stewardship to be free, reciprocal, accessible, and transformative. We farm to support the right of self-determination for all people over their bodies, lives, and foodways. We believe in a creative and collaborative relationship with the communities we are a part of and serve. |
Our purpose as Sweet Hollow Farm is to use
sustainable agriculture as a means to nourish and strengthen
community self-determination and agency in the food system.
What We Do
We serve Seattle and King County through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, mobile farmstands, and partnerships with community based organizations. Over the past years, our farm has partnered closely with local food access and mutual aid organizations to build out systems of food distribution and direct marketing that serve BIPOC, disabled, low income, and elder community members, increasing access to fresh, affordable, locally grown produce. Sweet Hollow Farm is a member of the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives, serving our long term goal to grow as a worker owned cooperative. Both Sweet Hollow farmers present regularly about the needs and futures of anti-oppressive, anti-capitalist agriculture and food systems.
Please note: mobile farmstands are on hiatus for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

meet the farmers
veroVero (they/them) is a grassroots strategist and community organizer with a background in organic vegetable production and local food procurement/distribution. Vero nourishes community self-determination by building power with historically marginalized people and tenant farmers in local, regional, and national food movements. They hold experience consulting with individuals, organizations, and coalitions operating within Food Systems, Hunger Relief, and Sustainable Agriculture sectors in the US. As an organizer they are rooted in feminist abolitionist liberation praxis that aims to leave no one behind while our communities work to remake the world in the vision of our highest collective good. Vero weaves food systems development together with practical knowledge of agroecological farming, food sovereignty, anti-capitalist philosophy, anti-oppression activism, and advocacy for land and food access towards transformative food systems futures. They are endlessly inspired by the more-than-human-world, contemporary tenant and labor organizing, and the ingenuity of queer, trans, and communities of color they are honored to be part of and work alongside. When not in a meeting or in the field, Vero is a dedicated artist, writer, and reader who loves to cook and feast with their loved ones. Looking to connect with Vero about consulting, speaking, or other collaborative work? Email [email protected]. |
