Hidden River Farms, LLC is owned and run by young farmer Evan Mulvaney. While growing excellent food, stewarding the land, and providing a living wage, I also want to inspire other young people to join me in agriculture. The average age of farmers in America is 58, and I believe that a just, sustainable, and secure future of food is impossible without a new generation of farmers and ranchers.

Evan was raised on a biodynamic farm, and loves growing good food with his hands in the dirt. He started his own farm business, Steamboat Junction Farm, when he was 19, raising 5 pigs and selling vegetables at a roadside stand, and since then he's never looked back.

The love of farming cannot be separated from love of place. We farm on several hundred acres near Montesano, Washington, at the foot of the Olympic Mountains. The hidden river for which our farm is named is the Wynoochee River, which means shifting in the local dialect of Salishan, on land that was once inhabited by the Chehalis tribe.

Hidden River Farms LLC would not be where it is today without the support of amazing former employees, interns, neighbors, and friends who have backed us up. In the process of growing the operation, we have partnered with South Sound Community Farmland Trust, local entrepreneurial organizations Washington Coast Works and Enterprise for Equity, and Thurston County WSU extension. We also rely on the local farm store, hardware company, auto mechanic, machine shop, and many other local farms.
