Miguel Garcia is originally from Oaxaca, Mexico. After moving to Skagit Valley, he worked for a few farmers before starting his own farm where he grew mostly strawberries. In pursuit of agricultural knowledge and community, a friend of his recommended Viva Farms’ Practicum in Sustainable Agriculture. Miguel took the class in 2021 and joined the farm business incubator in 2022. Miguel is currently operating on 2 acres where grows organic strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. 

He enjoys working on the land and being able to grow food that nourishes the local community. In the future, he plans on expanding his acreage and growing other crops like summer and winter squash.

Miguel García es nacido en Oaxaca, México. Trabajó para algunos agricultores al mudarse a Skagit Valley, antes de comenzar su propia granja y cultivaba principalmente fresas. En su búsqueda constante de conocimiento y conexión con la comunidad agrícola, un amigo le recomendó el Practicum en Agricultura Sostenible de Viva Farms. Miguel se unió a este programa en el año 2021 y posteriormente se integró a nuestra incubadora en 2022. 

En la actualidad, Miguel se dedica al cultivo de fresas, arándanos y frambuesas orgánicas; disfruta de este  trabajo y se enorgullece de producir alimentos que alimentan a la comunidad local. Con visión de futuro, García Family Farm planea expandir su operación y diversificar sus cultivos, incluyendo la producción de calabazas de verano e invierno.
