ABOUT THE FARM


Washington State Department of Agriculture

The Raven and the Spade is a Washington State Certified Organic farm, dedicated to enhancing and preserving the small-farming communities of Whidbey Island.  We believe it is our duty to be stewards of the land, using only natural methods of insect control, crop rotation, and the love of our land to enrich the soil that provides us with a wide variety of mouthwatering fruits and vegetables.  There is something deeply right about learning to eat with the flow of the seasons.
