Full Circle Farm is an organic, 400 acre farm located in Carnation, Washington that DELIVERS.
I have been receiving Full Circle Farm produce for 3 weeks and have been delighted with the service and the product.
Full Circle Farm has dozens and dozens and DOZENS of drop-off locations in Western Washington – King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties.
At www.fullcirclefarm.com, a user goes through an easy registration process to begin receiving some of the finest, local organic produce. There is no sign-up or service fee nor minimum order commitment. If you want one box… you get one box.
Simple. Easy. Convenient. Organic. Delivered.
With over dozens upon dozens of locations to pick-up one’s farm-fresh boxes of organic produce… Full Circle Farm makes it a breeze to get your greens. They have also expanded its “farm-to-table” service to include home delivery for the Puget Sound area, bringing farm-fresh produce and artisan goods directly to your doorstep.”
And with just a few clicks of the mouse, it is so simple to add to your order or change your order.
The part I loved the most about using Full Circle Farm was the simplicity – on many levels… from signing-up, to keeping my order tailored to my family’s needs, to picking up my box of awesoemsauceness… no wandering the produce aisles for this bounty!
After I picked up my box, I got cookin’! Vegetable Stir Fry, Rice, Teriyaki Chicken & Salad
Stir Fry:
No fancy recipe here. I took some FCF produce (spring onions, carrots & zucchini), and few items I had on hand (broccoli, cauliflower & garlic). I heated up some olive oil and a couple cloves of minced garlic. Then stirred… and fried le veggies!
Rice: You know how to make rice!
Teriyaki chicken: I marinated boneless, skinless chicken thighs in Veri Veri Teriyaki, and the hubs grilled it. OmNomNom.
Salad:
I used the green leaf, arugula, spinach and tomatoes from my Full Circlebox. I added feta with a vinegar/oil dressing.
The dinner plate:
The next morning I made scrambled eggs… I added zucchini and tomatoes from my order… some fresh garlic and parmesan.
One evening I roasted the FCF fingerling potatoes. I added a tablespoon (plus a little) to a baking pan, added sliced fingerlings. I topped them with salt, pepper… mixed… Then toppped with parmesan. Cooked them at 425 for about 30 minutes, and… easy peasy!
Really, after 3 weeks of veggies, there would be A LOT of pics and recipes, so I’ll share just one more. One that got rave reviews from the moms and dads at my daughter’s preschool graduation… Strawberry Salad.
The folks at Full Cirlce Farm include a newsletter and recipes in each box. I decided to use their salad recipe… for a spinach salad with strawberries and lemonette dressing:
In this salad: spinach, strawberries, feta, spicy candied pecans, and the lemonette dressing (pecans, feta & lemon not from Full Circle Farm).
Candied pecans (MY own beloved recipe of Awesome):
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pinch cayenne
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
In small bowl, mix together sugar, 1/2-teaspoon salt, 1/4-teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, 1/4-teaspoon pepper and cayenne.
In medium skillet, combine butter, sugar mixture and pecans. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar has melted and nuts are coated. Cool on lightly greased aluminum foil.
Full Circle Farm Lemonette Dressing (oh, this is so easy!):
Mix juice of one lemon (about 4 T) and 1/2 c olive oil in a bowl… until incorporated. Add a pinch of salt an pepper. ***my own add: about 2 tsp sugar… to take the edge off the lemon***

I’m a little late commenting on your blog. I am going to start service this week with Full Circle and so excited for the fresh organic produce. One silly question….do you tip the full service delivery person and if so how much? I never know…thanks!
I’ve been wanting to try FCF – thanks for the push to do it. Favorite is fresh out of the garden carrots & peas. Yay summer!

My favorite organic produce would have to be SunGold cherry tomatoes. They are like candy and I eat the container in one day! (OK, not the container – the tomatoes IN the container.)
Definitely tomatoes!
Ooh! I know lots of people who’ve tried them. I too would love to try it!
I also “liked” Full Circle Farm on Facebook!
Organic strawberries are my favorite! FCF has a pickup site just down the street from where I live. I’ve been wanting to try their service for a long time!
I’ve always wondered about getting one of these, but worried that I would get a box full of kale and turnups or something. It looks and sounds wonderful!
Sounds great! Do they deliver to homes? My kids love corn on the cob and sugar snap peas. I love almost all veggies.
Full circle farm sounds awesome and the strawberry salad totally rocked!
That stir fry looks AMAZING.
I’ve been wanting to look into home delivery for produce for years. Maybe now I should!
There is nothing like farm fresh organic veggies! Nothing.
*LOVE*
I “Liked” ( really like, still) Full Circle Farms!
….and they’re in Snoqualmie–my good friend owns Snoqualmie Cattle Co. right there in the valley too–there’s not that much space–perhaps they’re friends too! Small world!
Wow! Jenny–that is so neat–who knew? There are so many neat things going on with local produce. Thanks for the info!
Sugar snap peas!!! Gimme Gimme Gimme!
Jenny, I really loved this post-it inspired me to start using more veggies (again). We love most veggies that we call ‘farm fresh’-but esp. green beans, corn on the cob and tomatoes-the flavor is amazing when they are fresh and organic! Thanks so much for this post-I will definately check them out-do you know how the prices compare to the farmers market?
Wow. Totally easy and looks nummy. I’ll give it a shot! And I’m going to “like” them too.
Organic carrots are saww weet!
