Founded by the Short family, Short Acres Farm LLC has deep roots in the agricultural heritage of Washington State.

Today, Short Acres Farm LLC carries on this proud tradition, blending time-honored farming practices with innovative techniques to produce a diverse array of fruits, vegetables, and herbs in harmony with nature.
At Short Acres Farm LLC, sustainability is more than just a buzzword—it's a way of life. The farm is committed to regenerative agriculture practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and resource conservation. Cover cropping, crop rotation, and integrated pest management are just a few of the strategies employed to promote a healthy ecosystem and minimize environmental impact. By eschewing synthetic pesticides and fertilizers in favor of organic methods, Short Acres Farm LLC ensures that its produce is not only delicious and nutritious but also grown with the utmost care for the planet and its inhabitants.
Short Acres Farm LLC is more than just a farm—it's a vital community resource that fosters connections between people, food, and the land.

Educational tours, workshops, and farm-to-table events offer opportunities for visitors to learn about sustainable agriculture, healthy eating, and environmental stewardship, inspiring a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of food, health, and the environment.
As custodians of the land, Short Acres Farm LLC takes seriously its responsibility to protect and preserve the natural habitats and wildlife that call the farm home. Riparian buffers, hedgerows, and wildlife corridors are integrated into the farm's landscape to provide habitat and food sources for native flora and fauna. Wetlands and waterways are carefully managed to prevent erosion and promote water quality, while pollinator-friendly plantings support bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects essential for crop pollination and ecosystem health. Through these efforts, Short Acres Farm LLC seeks to create a harmonious balance between agriculture and conservation, ensuring that the land remains fertile and productive for future generations to enjoy.
