The Rain Barrels Down at Garden Path Fermentation

Garden Path Fermentation creativity goes well beyond painting rain barrels. "In pursuing our creative philosophy, we use exclusively local ingredients, with over 98% coming from within 20 miles of our location and ferment using only 100% native yeast, either from our house culture--which was originally cultivated from local flowers, plants, and berries and preserved from batch to batch for over 100 generations--or from naturally occurring microbes that we capture from the nighttime air; or, in the case of our wine and cider, from the fruit itself," explains Ron Extract, co-owner of Garden Path Fermentation.

Jake Silva - Brewing Artist

Jake Silva was introduced to art at a young age by his grandmother, an artist.  "Drawing and painting have always interested me, so my grandmother would show me tips on how to paint, and she expressed interest in my art," said Jake. He has also taken several art classes in college to improve his skills.  Jake uses his creative talents in brewing beer as well. Jake, Skagit Farm to Pint, and Skagit PUD unite water conservation, breweries, and art to raise funds for the non-profit Viva Farms.
