“Hello all! I’m Scott Ridout, married to my farm advisor, Susan, for nearly 41 years, grandpa and obsessed with growing food. After a 31 year career as a UPS delivery driver, May 2021 was the kick off my dream to have a small market garden farm, Farm Among Us. Growing on ⅓ acre in Issaquah, using low tillage natural practices to grow vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, microgreens, cut flowers and some fruits. The land used for growing is made up of 4 plots, 3 of which are on neighboring borrowed land,
Starting with farmer’s markets as the main customer we now primarily provide produce to restaurants in Issaquah and the Snoqualmie Valley and a roadside farm stand.
Mentors and early inspirational farmers include Eliot Coleman, JM Fortier, Daniel Mays, No Till Podcast with Farmer Jesse, Karl (Stehekin Garden), Ryan (Steelwheel Farm), and Amanda (Fall City Farm). Today so many Snoqualmie Valley farmers have been added to the wealth of knowledge and experience generously helping the farms success.
Hoping fresh eyes touring the farm will offer additional insights and experience nudging along a successful season.
See y’all soon!”
Parking is limited at the Farm Stand so please park at Vasa Hall 10530 324 pl SE Issaquah 98027. The farm is on the adjoining property.
