Established in 2011, One Leaf Farm grows a wide variety of vegetables on 7-acres outside of Snohomish, WA. Our produce is grown without the use of synthetic chemicals. We build our soil’s fertility with cover crops, compost, crop rotation, animal grazing, and allow for a fallow resting period.  We sell at one Seattle farmers markets, to Seattle-area restaurants, and through a collective CSA.

One Leaf Farm is a commercial farm that runs a lean operation.  The workday is packed with activity.  Everyone on the farm has a role, every day of the week comes with its full list of tasks.  We strive to hone our production systems for optimum efficiency; streamlining operations, reducing waste, and getting a lot done at work so that we can have a balanced work/life schedule.

Market Lead is responsible for vending at the Ballard Farmers Market and delivering to Seattle area restaurants. 
The One Leaf team is the Farm Owner, two Lead members, and three Crew members. All leads will regularly assist with functions on the farm outside of
their primary area of responsibility, reporting to the lead responsible for the function. These tasks include weeding, harvesting, transplanting, and others.
