Meaning of "Tilth"

Tilth is an Old English word used to describe the structure and quality of cultivated soil. An even older meaning describes it as the cultivation of wisdom and spirit. A soil or person in good tilth was said to be "in good heart."

The Oxford English Dictionary defines tilth as labor, work, or effort directed to useful or profitable ends, especially in regards to the cultivation of the soil.

"Tilth is something every farmer can recognize but no scientist can measure." -Walter Russell

Our Mission

Our mission is to support organic and sustainable food production practices throughout the Snoqualmie and Snohomish watersheds. We strive to bring together individuals working to support and promote biologically sound and socially equitable agriculture and connect them with consumers.

Support our efforts to encourage and preserve organic and sustainable food production in the Snoqualmie Valley and Snohomish watersheds.  Your membership greatly supports us in working towards this mission, and is more important now than ever! Join our mailing list for future action to support sustainable agriculture in our valley and beyond.

Our Members

Sno-Valley Tilth members adhere to a set of principles aiming to encourage stewardship of the earth. We are committed to producing high-quality agricultural products while maintaining a healthy, ecologically balanced environment. We constantly strive to continue learning through on-farm research on ecologically-based, low-impact production methods.

By providing a support network for farmers in the area and educating the public on the value of local farming and the issues important to sustaining our local farming heritage, we hope to increase awareness of the value of small, localized agriculture.
