Farmer Spotlight: Heidi’s Fancy Goods

This spring, Clark County Food Bank staff visited three of Heidi’s growing sites in northern Clark County. The sunny day on the farms provided a closer look at local growing efforts.

“Good Food Available for All” is the heart and soul of local grower, Heidi Zimmerman’s, work at Heidi’s Fancy Goods. A lifelong steward of the land, Heidi comes from a long line of organic farmers. At her Amboy, WA, farm, regeneration, sustainability, and reverence for the earth shape her farming practices.

From the varieties of fruits and vegetables she chooses to grow to her relationship with her land and animals­—Heidi makes decisions rooted in intention. Whether you’re visiting her at the Vancouver Farmers Market or savoring one of her blushing onions or blue Hubbard squash, Heidi’s passion for food justice and community education is contagious.

Heidi is one of the many incredible local farmers Clark County Food Bank has partnered with through federal food purchasing programs. We’re grateful for her commitment to growing clean, nutrient-dense food for our community. We look forward to future opportunities to partner alongside local farms!
