Taste the goodness when modern science meets traditional farming. DeGoede Farms in Sumner is growing lettuce, basil and microgreens hydroponically. This means the food is grown indoors, relying on harvested rainwater and solar power to produce more food with sustainable practice.

Season: Year-round

How to enjoy: You can’t visit the greenhouses themselves, but you can buy fresh produce online or by visiting Windmill Garden’s Riverside Farm (spring through fall)
