No strangers to hard work, David Mackie and Bonnie Briggs of Skinny Kitty Farms found their way to farming through an unexpected journey. Our own Sarah Schu had the opportunity to photograph the pair in a day in the life on the farm, along with their son Jasper. In this photo essay, learn more about Skinny Kitty Farms, and take a peek behind the scenes.

True farmers market lifers, Farmers Blong and Chor Cha have been selling flowers at the West Seattle Farmers Market since week one 21 years ago, and can also be found at the Univerity District and Lake City farmers markets. The Cha family grows a variety of gorgeous flowers as well as some produce. In the spring of 2020, their daughter Nikki Cha was kind enough to ask her father, who manages the farm, about his growing methods, and lessons learned along the way.
