Sound Sustainable Farms & Farm Stand

Business Description

Welcome to the Farm Stand.  We offer our in-season, farm-fresh produce, which is kept on display in our large walk-in cooler. We also partner with other local farms to bring in produce that we don’t grow ourselves, things like apples and stone fruit. In addition, we work with over 70 different Washington businesses to provide unique items, honey, jam, sauces, spices, gift items, and more! What else does our farm stand offer? We have Cedar Grove bagged soils available for sale, a mini “load your own” soil yard, flower and vegetable seeds, JB Instant Lawn Grass Seed, and yard art for sale. Seasonally, we offer vegetable and flower starts, planter boxes, pumpkins and corn stalk bunches, and Christmas trees and wreaths. Stop by and visit us sometime!

Although Sound Sustainable Farms put down roots in the Redmond community early in 2017, the story dates back much further to 1938, when a local family started a small garbage company in the City of Seattle.  Fast forward to the late 80's, the City of Seattle realized that organic materials like yard and food waste were unnecessarily, and much to the detriment of the region, filling the local landfill, thus shortening its lifespan.  One answer to this was to divert organic materials from the waste stream, and put it to its highest and best use by composting it.  The recycling industry was in its infancy, but the Pacific Northwest was at the forefront of these efforts, and Cedar Grove Composting was born.

For decades, high-quality compost has been produced locally and used in home gardens, landscapes, construction sites, and farms, to add nutrients and rebuild depleted soils.  In agriculture, this activity dates back thousands of years, and prior to mass-produced synthetic fertilizers, was the primary way of ensuring crops had the nutrients needed to ensure quality yields and fend off many diseases.
