Glen and Charlotte Johnson have been farming cumulatively for 80 years,spending the last 20 together on their 18 acres of organic orchard and farmland near Conway.
Glen grew up near here and began farming at 14. Charlotte learned subsistence farming from the elders on Guemes Island in the 1960s. After 15 years farming across the west,she came back to the Northwest and met Glen one week later [her first day at the Skagit Valley Food Co-op] when he delivered a box of spinach and asked for help at his market garden. She never went back to the Co-op,and she and Glen have combined formidable forces. “Eat as close to the land as you can,” she says.
