Skagit Valley is noted for some of the best farmland in the world. Come and enjoy "Celebrate Skagit ~ Dinner on the Farm" to taste and see for yourself the bounty we have to offer.
Join us Saturday, July 21 at 5 pm and enjoy a unique dining experience, featuring fresh, seasonal foods prepared by a guest chef. Experience the agricultural lifestyle and learn about farms, farmers and the importance of preserving Skagit Valley farmland while enjoying a fabulous meal.
Location:
The July 21 Dinner on the Farm will take place at Hedlin's Family Farm. Hedlin's has been in operation since 1906 when it was founded by Rasmus Koudal shortly after his arrival from Denmark. The farm is located near the mouth of the Skagit River, on the outskirts of the town of LaConner. While seed crops, primarily beet, spinach, and cabbage seed have been the constant thread over the past 100 years, the farm currently includes a greenhouse transplant and custom transplanting operation for the seed industry, wheat, pickling cucumbers and a fresh market operation which has grown over the last 15 years from another berry and corn stand along the side of the road to a 50-acre market garden where more than 100 different varieties of Certified Organic crops and sprayfree greenhouse produce are grown.
Owned and operated by third generation David Hedlin and Serena Campbell, Hedlin's continues to be a family operation, with sister Mary Hedlin, daugther Lauren Hedlin and nephew Kai Ottesen all working on the farm. Hedlin's Family Farm is committed to the long-term stewardship of our land and waters, the health of our workers, and to growing the highest quality produce the Magic Skagit has to offer.
