Established in 1947, Bow Hill Blueberries is the site of the oldest family-run blueberry farm in the agriculturally rich Skagit Valley.

The farm, Certified Organic in 2011, focused on soil health and biodiversity. Since its humble postwar beginnings, this small farm has celebrated preservation and diversity at the center of our decisions. Our more than 4,500 bushes produce 10,000 pounds of organic berries per acre. We grow a combination of heirloom varieties for their superior taste and attributes, including Rubel, Stanley, Jersey, and Bluecrop.

In 2020, the Ranz-Matheson family took over stewardship of Bow Hill to continue operations and care for the historic farm. Audrey and Ezra grew up on a similar small farm near Lake Tahoe, and it had been a lifelong dream to farm as a family. Together with their spouses, they decided to take over the operation at Bow Hill. Ezra works as the organic farmer, Emma manages the finances and operations, Audrey manages sales and marketing, and Andrew assists with harvest and farmers' markets. Saoirse the Sheepadoodle can be found greeting guests at the farm store. 

Locals come in with fond memories of picking blueberries in the fields as far back as the 1940s. For many, picking here was their first job!

We are proud to continue the legacy of small farm employment and strive to fairly compensate and celebrate the efforts of our farm workers.
