Our Story
Tara and Scott decided to take the leap of faith to become farmers four years ago in the Snohomish River Valley after realizing as a couple how much they enjoyed the farm and ranch lifestyle. They figured that life was too short and it should be an adventure. Following that dream, they sold their city house and started Luckie Farms.
Now the family is learning each day what it truly means to raise animals and manage a farm. Their dream of owning a farm includes cattle, horses, hosting events and farm tours, having educational youth field trips and anything else that involves bringing people together in a special place to really feel alive.
Their vision is unfolding in ways that they couldn’t even have dreamed of. Tara and Scott have created so many relationships with people and animals through Luckie Farms. They have a lot of gratitude for being able to live an adventure everyday. Their leap of faith has become a life beyond their wildest dreams. Their sons, Liam and Ethan are enjoying the adventure too (when they don’t have too many farm chores).

Scott Luckie

Scott and Tara decided that they wanted to raise their boys on a farm and work with animals. Following that dream, they sold their city house and started Luckie Farms. Now Scott and the family are learning everyday what it truly means to be a farmer and raise animals.
