The Krause Family Tradition. Swans Trail Farms has been owned and operated by the Krause family since 1984. Ben and Carol originally purchased the Staswick Dairy Farm from Sid Staswick with the intent to continue dairy farming indefinitely. They renamed it Swans Trail Farms after the area the farm is situated in. In 1995, the Krauses added a pumpkin patch to “The Farm” and invited families to come out for pumpkins, corn, a wagon ride, and to play in the hay maze. Two years later, in 1997, the Krause family was named Snohomish County Dairy Family of the year.

We strive to make our farm as accessible as possible to people with disabilities and limited mobility. Handicap Parking. Guests requiring a handicap parking space should have their state-issued permit visible prior to entering the parking lot. Our parking attendants will direct you to a designated handicap parking space. In addition, there is an area to the right of the main entrance designated as a drop-off or pick-up area for our guests with mobility issues. ADA Restrooms. All public restrooms at Swans Trail Farms are portables.

Sustainable Farming. Part of the appeal of eating local food is the knowledge that it’s been grown responsibly and with extra care. The philosophy that guides how we farm across all our crops is a commitment to ecological farming. This means balancing the needs of our crops with the health of the entire farm ecosystem, and always working to promote a balance between the two. It’s an approach that’s close to organic and combines the best of modern farming and traditional techniques.
