Fifty years ago Wendell Berry's address launched the Tilth movement in the Pacific Northwest at the Spokane World's Fair.

Listen to Wendell Berry, Agriculture for a Small Planet Symposium, July 1, 1974.

Visit our vibrant and successful market, bringing you what you need, while maintaining Tilth’s special feeling as gathering place. See you Sunday, April 28 at the market!

The seed library will be restocked and open in February 2025.

John Lovie presented information and considerations about water for agriculture on Whidbey Island at the South Whidbey Tilth Annual Meeting on January 21, 2024.

This year was a very successful year for the Tilth Seed Library. A total of 967 seed packets were “checked-out” from the library by our community.

Besides showing our community all the wonderful things you are growing or raising at the Fair, we need help in the Agriculture Department starting now. You will be rewarded with a pass to the fair on July 27 to July 3O.

South Whidbey Tilth has awarded Sage Callahan of South Whidbey High School a scholarship for future studies in sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship.

Check out the new vendors, music, and activities that make the market a great place to stop.

At the herb garden, walking onions, chives, chervil, salad burnet and thyme have made it through the winter and are returning with new growth.

Do you know a South Whidbey High School Student who has a passion and focus for environmentally sound, socially equitable, and sustainable agriculture? Now is the time to encourage them to apply for the 2023 Regenerative Agriculture Scholarship offered by South Whidbey Tilth. Spread the word, the deadline is April 11, 2023.

Tilth has a new community farmer. Pamela Uhlig, owner of Sonshine Farm, has been growing vegetable and floral crops commercially since 2013.

A key part of Tilth’s mission is making locally grown food more available to the community. We looked for a way to attract more visitors year-round.

The purpose of the library is to lend out seeds so you, as a grower, can save some seeds from the plants you grow to return to the library.

This year, our spring fundraising letter proposed the goal of paying off the mortgage on the Tilth land six years early.

It has been announced that the Agrarian Commons board selected Modest Family Solutions of Everett as the 99-year leaseholder for the land.

We wanted to take the time to introduce ourselves and share a bit about the next steps for the Gardener Farm, the land next door to the Tilth campus.

For many, farmers’ markets are a relaxing and safe way to shop. But not for everyone, and now it’s easier than ever to find local produce.
