Eric Fritch
Farmer and owner
Born and raised in Snohomish, Eric raised livestock in 4-H and FFA, earned an engineering degree at Washington State University, and returned home to farm and found Chinook Lumber.
Chinook Farms is Eric and Sharon Fritch's community minded farm in Snohomish, Washington selling 100% grass fed and finished beef by the quarter, half or whole animal, plus hay.
Chinook Farms is a community supported farm at Snohomish in Washington's Snohomish Valley, raising cattle on pasture for 100% grass fed and finished beef.
The farm also grows hay, shares its ground with partner growers, and puts land into vegetables for local food banks.
Beef is sold by the quarter, half or whole animal, and the farm suggests putting together a cow pool with friends to share a half. To order, you complete the beef order form and email it in, with a deposit to follow. The beef sells out quickly, so it pays to reserve early by email.

I bought half a cow from them—delicious, high-quality, and very healthy meat. Highly recommend.
Kind people.
Great place to volunteer.
This great 👍 farmer and his wife and numerous volunteers feed many people, employ folks and contribute acres of land for the express purpose of supplying whole foods to the various food banks in our area. Lifetime resident and native of Snohomish, Eric is also an important leader in my local community church St. John's where we believe in God's Truth and the Jesus Way. Anyone wanting to give financially or by the sacrifice of time and effort is welcome 🙏

I’m a Grassfed purist and can taste the difference between quality Grassfed and some of the “Grassfed” you find at grocery stores. Eric’s beef from Chinook definitely met my standards.. the ground beef was delicious, top sirloin was tender for a Grassfed, and ribeyes was freaking phenomenal.
Great time volunteering for food Bank farms!
Bought beef from farmer Eric! Absolutely delicious!! We met Eric a couple of times. He is a very kind and generous person. He is also passionate about helping his local community. The world is a better place because of him!: ) Thank you!
