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.
