Summer Celebration

2023 INFO COMING SOON. Read about last year’s event below.

Celebrate summer by stopping by the local farm stands, markets and stores that support local agriculture in our beautiful Sammamish Valley. 21 Acres is home base for this SVA event! New vendors and some fan favorites will be located on the patio from 10-3.

As we promote our 2022 Summer Celebration this year, not only on Saturday, July 23rd, but throughout summer, we encourage the public to purchase local, fresh, pesticide free food that’s grown right in our own neighborhoods. You’ll not only enjoy the beauty as you wander around the Valley, you’ll learn about our environmentally sustainable agriculture community.

Whether you grab some veggies at the farm market, get a jar of honey or jam at your favorite farm store or pick up a gorgeous bouquet from a street side farm stand, your local purchase will impact the economic vitality of the entire Sammamish Valley.

The event is free and all ages are always welcome, but please remember to follow each location for Covid precautions, as some require masks indoors.

Viva Farms-King County Student Farm & Farm Business Incubator
16215 140th Place NE

In partnership with SAgE Collaborative (Sustainable Agriculture Education), our King county location is in the Sammamish Valley on the urban fringe of the greater Seattle metropolitan area. Like our original Skagit Valley farm business incubator, the Woodinville site offers land, equipment, infrastructure and training for beginning farmers to launch independent farm businesses. The urban incubator is comprised of smaller-scale and more intensive farming operations that reflect the location of the site and proximity to a larger urban center.
