Members supporting Members: Spotlight on Amelia (Amy) White

Member Amelia (Amy) White works with a small team at Bumblebee Farm! It’s just Amy & Katy (her business partner) year round. This season, for the first time, they’ll have a couple of part-time crew members helping out with harvest and delivery. 

“We’re a tiny team doing all the planting, cultivating, harvesting, and delivering!”

Bumblebee Farm is a small women- and queer-owned vegetable farm specializing in heirloom and Asian vegetables. We deliver the freshest produce, grown with care, in our electric delivery van! We have a few spots open in our 20-week veggie subscription program. Choose from a full share delivered every week, or a half share delivered every other week. Coach Hayley signed up for a half subscription to deliver in South Seattle on Thursdays! Check the delivery map or inquire with them to learn more about delivery to your home! Space is LIMITED to secure your spot today!

Get the freshest produce, know where your food comes from

Straight from the farm to you! We pick your veggies no more than a few days before we deliver them to you. Compare this with grocery store produce which may have spent weeks in transit and storage.

When you participate in Community-Supported Agriculture, you’re supporting a local small business. You’ll get to know your farmers, Amy and Katy, and learn about the marvels and mishaps of growing food in our local climate. We’ll also provide opportunities to visit the farm if you want to see where the magic happens.

About Amy from Amy:

“I just love vegetables - cooking them, eating them, growing them, shopping for them. I don't know quite when this veggie obsession developed, but it started young. As a child, I loved exploring my grandmother’s huge vegetable garden on her farm in Illinois. “Farmer” has been on every list I’ve ever made of what to be when I grow up.

I was a gardener, food writer, science educator, and small business owner for many years in New Mexico. After returning to Seattle, I worked part time at Local Roots Farm for a couple of years, then finally took the plunge into the Viva Farms incubator program. Looking back, I realize I’ve been moving toward farming my whole life.”
