Certified Organic
Our new fruit trees have just been certified as organic by the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA). That means that in addition to the old orchard, which was certified organic in 2024, all of our fruit producing trees are now certified. We’re thrilled to have the organic certification to show that we’re taking care of the land and following the best farming practices.

Dabinett
Our Dabinett cider apple trees are doing great this year. The Dabinett trees were planted four years ago with the help of our friends and family and we’re so thrilled that they’re thriving. We can’t wait until they’re harvested in mid-October so cider makers can unleash their full potential! Dabinett originates from the traditional cider region of Somerset, England, in the mid-19th century. It is aclassic English hard cider apple variety, which produces a full bittersweet jui

5 years of Seagate Farm!
