The owners of Celebration Farms had a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 25 with the SnoValley Chamber of Commerce to honor new ownership at the Fall City farm.

Celebration Farms is a business located on the Patterson Creek Farm property. Last year, owners Lindsey and Mike Hurt took the farm over from her parents, who ran an equestrian facility for many years. Someone else now runs the equestrian facility, but on their parcel, the Hurts are growing blueberries, sunflowers, pumpkins and Christmas trees.

The Hurts live on the farm with their five children, though Lindsey said her parents remain involved and have been instrumental in helping them with the transition to ownership.

Celebration Farms first opened for business in November 2024 to sell Christmas trees, then opened again in June for blueberry picking. It is now open for pumpkins through the week of Halloween and will have trees later in the year.

The farm has three core values, Lindsey said: legacy, community and health. Lindsey said both she and Mike have long had passions for mentoring and providing opportunities for the next generation, which ties into each of these values.

“Creating a legacy, not just for our family, but for our community, and building experiences in the younger generation and also making farming sustainable,” Lindsey said. “It’s just not right now, and without any interest from the next generation, I don’t know what we’re going to do. So getting some enthusiasm, opportunities for youth to be involved, that also aligns with our value of community.”

Celebration Farms is working with Washington State University to allow students to collect credit from work they do on the farm.

Lindsey said the experiences of working the farm can provide important lessons for youth, like patience — “there is no instant gratification in farming” — and being part of a team.

“It also teaches resilience … continuing to work in spite of failure,” she said. “Sometimes a farming failure is completely outside of yourself. … So creativity and how are you going to address this problem and shift your plans. And then also resilience and how are you going to try again and learn from your experience.”
