What is Ecolibrium?

Ecolibrium is a bio-intensive, market garden located in the Sammamish Valley in Washington.

While our focus is on growing produce, the principles we employ in our field support the larger ecosystem within which we farm. These principles are rooted in a profound reverence and fascination with the natural world, and the belief that the more diverse the land is the more resilient the farm can be.  

Techniques we use to sustain the farm and regenerate the ecological robustness of the world around us:

  • Adhere to low-till methods as we prepare our beds

  • Maintain organic certification - WSDA and The Real Organic Project

  • No synthetic pesticides

  • Targeted fertilization with granular organic amendments, reducing run-off into local waterways

  • Keep the edges of the field wild so beneficial, birds, insects and fungi can have habitat

 

Farm

We started Ecolibrium because we believe that growing food in an ecologically-sound manner enhances the health and vitality of our natural ecosystems.

Our guiding principles include:

  • Certified organic

  • Permanent beds to help increase soil health

  • Dynamic Pest Management

  • Low-till, low disturbance soil practices to enhance the biodiversity of the soil

Cook

At Ecolibrium, we view cooking as extension of our agricultural processes. And everyday we work to make our food system more local, connected, and resilient.

Here are just a few of our core values:

  • Farm-driven, seasonal menu planning

  • Quality is paramount, in both product and process

  • Strong connections to our restaurant partners

  • The quickest way to get to know a stranger is breaking bread at a shared table
