Land Acknowledgment
As an organization rooted in the Pacific Northwest, we acknowledge that the land on which we operate belongs to the Coast Salish tribes, specifically the Tulalip tribes of Washington State. We recognize and honor the enduring presence, resilience, and wisdom of the Coast Salish peoples, whose connection to this land predates the establishment of our company. We pay our respects to the ancestors, elders, and community members of the Tulalip tribes, past and present, and commit to fostering a relationship of respect, partnership, and mutual understanding.
Here at Silverlode Gardens & Seed Company, our mission is to bring awareness to the increasing need for integration of agriculture and forestry in hobby and small scale farms. We hope to achieve this by integrating native species populations, creating a regenerative cycle of benefits for both farmer and the ecosystem.
*Our goal is to provide primarily native species. As an agroforestry based business, we also provide other crops to aid in the multi-faceted integration and farming aspects of site application.
