Mount Vernon sits at the center of the Skagit Valley, where farmers produce about $350 million worth of crops, livestock, and dairy on roughly 90,000 acres, growing more than 90 different crops in one of the most diverse agricultural communities west of the Cascades. The valley is a global vegetable seed center, supplying roughly 25 percent of the world's cabbage seed and beet seed and about 8 percent of its spinach seed.
Ninety-five percent of Washington's red potatoes come from Skagit County, and roughly 500 acres of tulips here represent about 75 percent of United States commercial production. Farmland depends on engineered drainage: twelve dike, drainage, and irrigation districts cover 60,000 acres, about two thirds of the county's agricultural land, and roughly 40 percent of that ground needs supplemental summer irrigation.
Agnomy connects Skagit Valley growers with verified local service providers who understand seed crop isolation, drainage and tile work, and the wet maritime harvest window, making it easier to find, book, and manage the services your operation depends on.
