Meet the Farmers

Simple Goodness Syrups begin on the farm.

When we started crafting syrups, we grew the majority of our ingredients on our 10-acre family farm, in Buckley, WA. As we've grown, we are no less dedicated to responsible sourcing, and are proud to partner with family farms in the pacific northwest.

It isn’t as easy as only sourcing from organic farms, or from Washington state farms. These labels tell only a partial story of how a product is grown, how the land is stewarded, who grows the fruit, whether it is even possible to grow certain things in our region, and who benefits from the product’s sale.
Our syrup sales help support the agricultural economy in Washington state, a place where climate pressure, land and labor prices, and cost of living contribute to a loss of two family farms every day (Washington Farm Bureau.)

Here are the farms you support when you buy Simple Goodness Syrups:

Simple Goodness Farm (Buckley, WA)

The Simple Goodness Farm grows herbs, edible flowers, pumpkins, and rhubarb on 10 acres. Stewardship of the land while growing healthy, quality food is our top priority. The Simple Goodness Farm uses regenerative agriculture practices for healthy soil and healthy people, such as crop rotation, landscape fabric for non-chemical weed prevention , and drip irrigation to reduce water use and plant disease, all typical "organic" practices. However, these practices alone do not qualify us to be officially labeled as an organic farm, which would require a significant monetary investment.

Sidhu Farm (Puyallup, WA)

Founder, Owner, Operator and Father, Chet Sidhu brought the rich legacy of generations of farming in his ancestral land of Punjab, India to this family-run farm in Puyallup, WA in 1997. Beginning with an existing plot of land growing natural blueberries, the Sidhus began selling their fruits at the famous Pike Place Market and expanded to markets throughout the region, becoming known in the community for producing exceptional berries, practicing the most natural farming ways in their family-centered operations. Today, the farm is still run by Chet and his three sons, Kamal, Sunny and Sarge, along with their wives and extended family.

4 Elements Farm (Puyallup, WA)

Farmers Amy and Agustín, and son Gabriel, have been farming together since 2005. Products ranging from pumpkins and flower bulbs to Christmas trees and cattle have thrived on what is now the Four Elements Farm in the Puyallup Valley. The farm is certified organic by the USDA and in conservation by the Washington Farmland Trust (in collaboration with Pierce County) so that it remains in agriculture forever. Four Elements Farm has over 50 farmable acres, 6 acres of 70+ year old blueberry plants, and riparian habitat along Ball Creek (a tributary of the Puyallup River).

Knutson Farms (Puyallup, WA)

With three generations of family stewardship, a consistently high-quality team, and great effort, Knutson Farms is one of the nation’s largest producers of rhubarb, both field and hothouse grown. Roger Knutson was born and raised on the property, and guides the farm. Roger’s son-in-law, Brian Anderson, manages and runs daily operations. Today the farm is also known throughout the valley for their family-friendly agritourism events.
