Metta Farms
Metta Farm is a 1/4 acre farm located in Woodinville, WA, specializing in the cultivation of Asian heritage vegetables and herbs. Metta is a Pali (ancient Indian) word that means loving-kindness, which is the farm’s core value, and the way every living being is treated on the farm. Metta Farm stands behind its name and core value in aiming to keep the land and the community healthy, and to provide fresh and nutrient-dense produce to the community through using no-till, regenerative, and organic farming practices that promote biodiversity, increase soil health, and attract natural predators to attend to garden pests. These practices include using only non-GMO seeds, organic compost and inputs, and preventive-only pest management (physical barrier, crop rotation, companion planting, good sanitation, etc.).
Metta Farm offers 18 weeks CSA in three options: a weekly CSA, an even week CSA, and an odd week CSA. CSA members will receive 7-12 items in the share, depending on the seasonality. Most of the items in the share will be common and specialty Asian vegetables, such as bok choy, shungiku, a choy, celtuce, garlic chives, sweet potato leaves, water spinach, etc. We also wholesale our produce to local distributors, restaurants, and food banks.

Rain Dog Farm-
Rain Dog Farm, for the past eight years, has one mission; fresh or bust. If I, owner and head farmer Charlie Wainger, aren’t learning to grow better crops every year I ain’t happy. Rain Dog continues to be a no till, no spray, natural practice farm with a goal to limit waste wherever possible. All plant scraps, microgreen remains, cardboard, etc. is either composted to use again in the field or added directly to garden beds. I work with local seed suppliers and in 2026 will begin seed saving, starting with my tomatoes, zucchini, and cucumbers. I’m proud to work with the community through my relationships with distributors with a local focus, my town’s seasonal farmers market, as well as local restaurants, and the first ever Rain Dog Farm Stand, which opened up in November of this year. Keep eating and I’ll keep producing.
