Overmarsh Farm Commons

About the Land

Overmarsh Farm Commons is a dream our Grange has had for quite a while, a bit of land where we can offer opportunities to fellow islanders to grow for their families or for market. And now that dream is a reality. We have close to 40 acres along Roche Harbor Road near Sutton, of which 5-8 acres will be irrigated and protected from deer, and the rest will be in managed grazing and tree crops.

We offer a range of parcel sizes:

  • Community garden patches: 100-400 square feet
  • Medium plots: 500-1000 square feet
  • Allotments: 1000-2000 square feet
  • A commercial operation of up to half an acre
  • Collaborative farms: up to two acres
  • A share in a community orchard
  • Pastures for grazing animals
  • Custom growing ideas: just ask!

Now that we are getting some nice weather, the work parties are coming fast and furious at Overmarsh Farm Commons: tarps moved, plots laid out, grass mowed, and finally construction of the new greenhouse funded by community donations during the San Juan Island Community Foundation SJC Cares campaign at the county fair last summer.

Two major recent events will help ensure the success of the Overmarsh Farm Commons project. The first is the signing of a 20-year lease by the San Juan County Conservation Land Bank and the Grange. The second is the selection of a Farm Manager.
