Nash Huber started his business by growing vegetables and direct marketing them to his local community. Although the farm has become much more diverse, produce is still the major focus.
Every year, the team at Nash's grows about 70 acres of row crop veggies. The farm's Production Managers work together to implement the production plan, which includes everything from field preparation and irrigation, to planting, cultivation and harvest.
Because of the unique climate in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, certain vegetables can be grown into the winter. Nash’s is always working towards selecting varieties that can thrive in cooler weather in order to extend our growing and marketing seasons.
Root crops, like carrots, rutabagas, turnips, and parsnips, can actually get sweeter if left in the ground, providing there is no deep freeze. Winter greens will also retain sugar to act as an antifreeze in cold temperatures. Organic Seed Alliance has been an invaluable partner in the effort to develop organic varieties adapted to our local conditions.

Due to a labor shortage, Nash's farm may not be growing all the vegetables on this list. Please use it to find out when Nash's and other farms in Clallam and Jefferson counties may have these veggies coming
off their fields and available at Nash's Farm Stand.
