21 Acres Center for Local Food and Sustainable Living
 21 Acres is a community-based non-profit organization that serves as an agricultural and environmental
learning center. Salmon-Safe recognized 21 Acres as a model of responsible farm stewardship. They are protecting
their waterways by planting streamside buffers and hedgerows and using conservation practices that prevent soil
erosion, control weeds and pests through natural methods, conserve water through efficient irrigation, and
promote native biodiversity. The Salmon-Safe certification will help the farm educate the community about
the connections between good farming practices and protection of water quality, fish and wildlife habitat,
and native biodiversity.
Fresh Breeze Organic Dairy
 Fresh Breeze Organic Dairy, a
5th generation dairy farm located in Whatcom County, near the Canadian border, is the only organic dairy in Washington
state to process, bottle, and market their own line of organic milk. Now the Salmon-Safe label is recognizing Fresh Breeze
for their commitment to sustainable practices and will soon be featured on their milk bottles, which are sold to groceries
throughout the Puget Sound region.
