Bi-Zi Farms is an American farm located in Orchards, Washington. The location contains a roadside fruit and vegetable stand and an annual pumpkin patch and harvest festival. The location also contains a petting zoo, corn mazes, and two commodity stands. History The family has had members come and go, and the farm has been moved several times throughout the years. The founder, Michael Zimmerman, was born in North Carolina in 1799 before moving to Ohio. He later moved across several other locations such as Iowa before settling in Washington state with Gabriel, his son. Gabriel went on into moving to San Francisco. He then later went to Vancouver, Washington after purchasing 180 acres and started a farm. Originally the location was a hatchery with different inventions that failed. Doug Zimmerman starting selling corn by his mobile home in 1990 which he was living in at the time, before going full-scale and selling other fruits and vegetables. He then added a pumpkin patch onto the site, which has grown locally since then. In 2020, they held the festival while complying with social distancing measures during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, along with the addition to add candy handouts during Halloween of October. There is debate that began in 2021, where Bi-Zi farms was unable to receive permits for water usage by the state, thus threatening its shutdown. The annual harvest festival remains, including the pumpkin patch, fruit stand, and petting zoo. References External Links www.bi-zifarms.com Farms in Washington (state) Zoos in Washington (state)
