Susan Soltes and her husband purchased Bow Hill Blueberries — the oldest blueberry farm in Washington’s Skagit Valley — in 2011, and began the three-year process of organic certification. They wanted to diversify their sales beyond farmers’ markets, U-pick and their farm store, and are now selling fresh and frozen blueberries to the University of Washington Medical Center, Overlake Hospital, Swedish Medical Center and United General Hospital.
