Explore the outdoors, celebrate the seasons, & make magical memories.
Oxbow holds events throughout the year to connect you to your food, to the land where it’s grown; and to our work and mission.
What to expect
Our events have exclusive activities custom-made with you in mind to provide you with opportunities to explore, create, learn and make magical memories in the great outdoors.
You can participate in our event-related activities or explore on your own by taking a walk in the farm fields, hiking, and playing along the Snoqualmie Riverbank.
Immerse yourself in nature, taking a break from the city and connecting, listening & watching life thrive around Oxbow.
Some fan-favorite activities include:
- Bringing snacks from home and enjoying a picnic with fresh produce from our Farm Stand.
- Exploring the Living Playground by roaming free in a kid-friendly setting (Climbing a real-life tractor is always fun for the little ones!)
- Peeking into a Conservation Center, where restoration activities are happening all the time.
- Touring a one-of-a-kind PNW Native Plant Nursery.
- Coming camera-ready and take advantage of our natural photo-ops around the site.
We are a King County farm located in beautiful Carnation, WA, just 25 miles from Seattle, and we are looking forward to seeing you soon!
The 2024 season has come to a close, and as winter settles in, we’re busy planning an exciting lineup for next year.

U-Pick is subject to seasonality and quantity. Please check in at the Farm Stand for availability.
