We celebrate delicious and nutritious food produced in a sustainable manner by providing inspirational and educational experiences that positively affect the health, the environment, and local economies. We develop the next generation of food citizens and grow new farmers.

At Carnation Farms, we celebrate good food and the changes that good food can bring.

We believe that food is a connector, a common ground that brings people together. From locally-sourced ingredients to hands-on events, we're helping change the food system so that eating good food becomes a daily joy available to everyone, every day, at every meal!
