Laura McIlrath-Riel
Laura spends her days running the market and produce subscription boxes. As you can see, she loves her work, although sometimes she wonders why she’s chosen a career that requires her to do the work of three people.
We grow a bunch of produce - over ten varieties of apples, pears, certified organic cherries, peaches, pluots, strawberries…and so much more! While family-owned and operated, we also like to get the community involved - partnering with local farms and artisans to bring in even more goods for our market and produce subscription boxes.
Being a good neighbor is important, and for us, it is a priority. Supporting local businesses and farms is the cornerstone of being good neighbors and building a strong sense of community. Your subscription directly supports 20+ local farms, small businesses, their employees, and employees’ families! By shopping local, you can feel good about where your food comes from and know you helped a neighbor.
Last year we sourced over 110,000 pounds of local produce from 13+ farms!
Our family has a long-standing passion for farming and a deep-rooted love for the Yakima Valley and its community. These combined passions inspired us to open the Market, a magical place where the new generation of McIlraths get to share
fresh-from-harvest organic produce and hand-crafted artisan goods with our community.
Keeping the family business up and running is hard work, but we love what we do! Striving to be stewards of the land, we’re always seeking ways to improve the yields and produce—reimagining new, exciting ways to get our products to you.

Brian McIlrath is a dedicated partner in the family business. He has worked on the farms throughout his life. He and his daughters can be found in the orchards working on improving growing techniques, getting ready for harvests, or taking care of their grass-fed cows.
Scott and Esther McIlrath began farming in the Yakima Valley in 1976. As a child, Scott McIlrath spent the summers with his grandparents on their farm. Those experiences inspired him to become a farmer and share with his children the opportunity to grow up enjoying farm life.
