The Thomas family has been farming in the Snohomish Valley for well over 100 years. From generation to generation, we have farmed a wide variety of agriculture including; dairy, peas, strawberries, corn, grass, etc.
We continued to adapt to the ever-changing farming industry drastically over the last two decades. Our demand for cow manure began in 1987 when Marvin decided to start his first business Topsoils Northwest Inc. At this time Marvin and his brother Dennis Thomas had purchased the dairy farm (Thomas Farm Corp.) from their father Donald Thomas. Donald farmed his whole life in the valley growing anything from peas to strawberries. When the Thomas Brothers branched out from farming to the Topsoil business they had one important ingredient readily at their fingertips. The ability to source manure locally from their farm
separated Topsoil’s Northwest Inc. from competitors in Snohomish county. Marvin and Dennis were dairy farmers for many years (while operating the Topsoil Company simultaneously) until 2007 when they retired dairy production and replaced with raising beef cows. The milk price had dropped far below profitable margins forcing them out of the dairy business. With the Topsoil business growing the demand for manure still needed to be met.
We converted from raising beef cows to raising heifers for local farms who don't have the capacity to hold their cattle. We continue raising hephers to this day.
