When Harley and Susan Soltes became the second family to own the farm in 2011, they immediately began the transition of 65 year old plants to organic and will be fully certified for the 2014 harvest. In spring 2013 Bow Hill Blueberries became a Puget Sound Food Hub partner as an aggregation and customer pick-up site for the North Sound region. Regional food hubs have the potential to increase farm sales, reduce costs and waste, address regulatory requirements, and improve food safety standards while increasing access to locally produced foods. Bow Hill sells to businesses and institutions through the Puget Sound Food Hub and also helps manage hub operations and provide marketing assistance. Join us for a tour of this 6-acre farm and hear about the Soltes’ experience selling direct to consumers through u-pick, at farmer’s markets, their farm store and online. Learn about processing of Bow Hill’s value-added products in their on-site WSDA licensed kitchen, tour the food hub and gain specifics about its operation. bowhillblueberries Directions to 15628 Bow Hill Rd, Bow, WA 98232
