Gibbs Organic Farm

This family-owned and operated certified organic farm is located in a secluded canyon outside of Leavenworth, WA on the eastern slopes of the Cascades. The 80-acre farm includes 8 gardens, 5 acres of fruit orchard, pastures, a mix of animals, and 60 acres of tree farm. Crops include hay, grains, berries, herbs, and a wide variety of vegetables. The Gibbses grow many heirloom varieties of apples, pears, and cherries, and also raise cattle, hogs, chickens, and turkeys. Gibbs Organic Produce provides high quality organic goods to local customers at farmers markets and food co-ops.

The Gibbs Farm manages all aspects of its fields, woods and streams as a single integrated system, or permaculture. Permaculture farming views all parts of a farm's animals, natural resources, crops, and human dwellings and activities as components of a single ecosystem. The farm's health and productivity depends on managing the complex interrelationships within it. With over 30 years of diversified organic farming experience, owner Grant Gibbs has created an inspiring example of healthy, sustainable, and eco-friendly land management.

Through the summer internship program, with hands-on learning, apprentices experience unique opportunities and a sustainable farming education.
