It all started with…

My great-great-grandparents, Thomas and Sarah Hayton, established Hayton Farms in 1876 on Fir Island in the Skagit Valley of Washington. They grew grain and made hay to be barged from the granary on the banks of Deer Slough to Seattle to feed the city’s workhorses. In the early 1900’s, my great grandparents, James and Maude Hayton, transformed the farm into a dairy. In the 1950’s my grandparents, Leroy and Irene, made the decision to run the farm exclusively as a crop farm, and focused on growing peas and making pea hay. My father, Robert Hayton, contined to make hay and grew a lot of berries, cucumber, cauliflower, and potatoes. .

As a child I worked on the farm and sold berries at the end of the driveway. I always knew I wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps and be a farmer when I grew up. Once I was in highschool I began selling berries at farmers markets all over the greater Seattle area. In 2016 I purchased the farm next door to my dad’s farm. I also rent my dad’s adjacent farm (where I grew up) from him now that he is retired. 

Over the last 10 years I have been busy planting new varieties of berries. I am the most excited about the Pink Lemonade blueberries and the Hardy Kiwi. I currently grow berries, potatoes, grass for hay and pasture, and raise grass fed beef and lamb.

We opened up a roadside farm stand down in the blueberry field and that has been such a fun project. If you find yourself up in Skagit Valley make sure to stop by and get some fresh berries! Fir Island farm stand address: 16670 Fir Island Road, Mt. Vernon, WA. Farm stand is open April-October 10AM-6PM. We have Lopez Island Creamery hand dipped ice cream cones, and sell our berries, meats and other locally made goodies.
