At First Light Farm & Learning Center, we see our pumpkins as our friends -- lovingly propagated, planted, watered, and finally grown big enough to find homes with people who will delight by them.

This weekend, as we're getting ready for the closing of our 2026 season (last day is October 31st), we want to ensure all of our pumpkins find homes. So, please if you're still looking for a pumpkin, we have some beauties. And if you buy one, the 2nd one is free.

And for the kiddos, we also have tractor rides and s'mores they can roast on a campfire. Magic happens in Nature.

Open this weekend, 10-3. We hope to see you at the farm!

Athough the summer months give us the most variety of produce, fall vegetables have their place in our homes as we think of soups, roasted vegetables, and more.

Consider joining First Light Farm's three-week CSA at $38.50/week to receive 5-6 vegetables on Fridays freshly harvested that morning. We deliver into Carnation and north Seattle. We would be happy to add another drop site if there is enough interest.

We'll be following Mother Nature's cue, but here's what we're hoping to harvest for you over those three weeks:

- kohlrabi
- cabbage
- tatsoi
- broccoli
- kale
- arugula
- lettuce
- celery
- garlic
- salad mix
- winter squash and baking pumpkins
- turnips
- radicchio
- rainbow chard
- collard greens
- bok choy

This is a limited CSA so if you're interested, please email us at [email protected] to sign up. We'll send you an invoice for your bill. You can sign up for 1, 2 or the complete 3 weeks. (If Mother Nature works with us, we hope to have a special Thanksgiving harvest bag for you. More details on that later!)

Here's to our health and the well-being of our communities!
