Woodbridge Farm is a 24-acre farm located along a salmon stream in the fertile Chimacum Valley of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Woodbridge was purchased in 2018 by Peter Mustin, one of rural Jefferson County’s only Black farmers and one of its largest Black landowners. As a steward of the land, Peter’s vision of Woodbridge Farm is to cultivate community while caring for the soil, growing good food and flowers, and providing space for Black, Indigenous, and people of color to experience the life-affirming bounty nature provides.

Corey Chin has partnered with Jefferson County Anti-Racist Fund (JCARF), Roots of Resilience Project, and local farms to create a weekly CSA box for BIPOC families. Shares have included fresh seasonal veggies and fruits, as well as flower bouquets, local meat, eggs, dairy, dried and preserved goods.
Building resilient, accessible local food systems that support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) is reparations work. The CSA is free of cost and open to any BIPOC people in Jefferson County, regardless of income, and they coordinate deliveries for members who need it. |

Adachi Farm is a small, intergenerational community-based farm in Port Townsend, WA. Created and run by Juri and Roarke Jennings, Adachi farm is a permaculture farm modeled after the Japanese practice of “aigamo”, a rice and duck integrated multispecies farming system. Their goal is to both honor traditional farming practices while moving away from industrialized and extractive farming practices. Other crops like hemp, burdock, fruit, and nut trees are grown using no-till methods that build soil, regenerate the land, and provide food, medicine, and fiber for the community.
