About Jubilee Farm
First runner-up for the 2007 Vim Wright Stewardship Award, Jubilee Farm was the first organized community-supported agriculture farm in the Snoqualmie Valley, and is still one of the most successful. In 2004, Erick and Wendy Haakenson, owners of Jubilee Farm, entered into a cooperative agreement with Stewardship Partners to undertake riparian area restoration along the Snoqualmie River adjacent to theFarm. This work led to Jubilee Farm being one of the first four farms in the Puget Sound area certified as Salmon Safe.
