Snohomish County Food and Farming Center

The Snohomish County Food and Farming Center will serve as a resource for farmers in Snohomish, Whatcom, Skagit, and King counties. Farmers will have access to support, equipment, and infrastructure for processing, aggregation, distribution, value-added production, and both direct and wholesale sales of locally produced agricultural products. The Center will also include a commercial kitchen and a year-round, indoor Farmers Market.

We’d love to hear from you!

Your feedback, along with input gathered from the public meetings in October, will help guide the development of the project design. The survey contains 10 questions and should take less than 10 minutes to complete.
