L'Arche Farm

L'Arche Farm Growing people, growing plants in Tacoma, WA. We are currently in our 35th year growing plant products and have been doing paper and floral crafts for 25 years.

It is the mission of L’Arche Tahoma Hope Farm & Gardens to offer a safe and welcoming environment that provides meaningful farm and garden work to persons with differing abilities. Working in an integrated setting with people of a variety of abilities and gifts each farm worker, where core member, assistant or volunteer is affirmed in their dignity, self worth and connection to all of life. To put

it more simply the goal of the Farm is “Growing People Growing Plants”

Our work force consists of people of all abilities working together to bring you quality plants and crafts. We are a community supported work program which means part of our funding comes from support from the greater community. We are fortunate to receive grant and other moneys from agencies like United Way, The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, The Medina Foundation, Pierce County as well as individual donors and supporters. Our program sits on six acres where in addition to providing quality annuals, perennials, herbs and hanging baskets, we offer organic vegetables and fresh cut and dried floral bouquets. During the year we also recycle paper and along with our yearly harvest of dried flowers and seeds we create our own “L’Arche Paper Crafts”, which include handmade journals, ornaments, all occasion cards, Christmas cards, picture frames and more.

They’ve put netting over the area to keep chickens in and predators out!!

Dried flowers in the barn. Because it’s that time of the L’ArcheFarm year 🌼💜🌼 #larchefarmandgardens #fall

The L’Arche farmers and friends made a trip to the spring fair!

The L’Arche farmers and friends made a trip to the spring fair! They got to soak up the agricultural exhibits and spend some time away from the never-ending farming tasks. Check out the smiles and delight! #puyallupspringfair2024 #larchefarmandgardens

It was COLD at the first morning meeting of 2024. The farmers faced it bravely with lots of jackets, hats, and mittens. The dahlias needed a new spot and are now in the warmer barn break room. Our fingers are crossed for those spring blooms!#larchefarmandgardens #winter#morningmeeting

Thank you so much for your generous seed donation this year, @westcoastseeds 🙏 We are looking forward to seeing them grow and bring produce to the farm! #westcoastseeds #larchefarmandgardens #seeddonation #gratitude
