Chet Sidhu: From Punjab to Puyallup
Chet Sidhu came to America in the early 1980s, realizing a dream he had since childhood. He was born in Punjab, India with generations of farming in his family tree. His family owned 60 acres and cultivated cotton in their native country.
Sidhu started farming in the Orting and Puyallup Valleys in 1998. For a time he was growing raspberries on the Engfer property, but had to stop production and pull all his irrigation equipment when the Engfers were in the process of selling the farm a year ago. “It would be too expensive to go back there again”, Sidhu said when learning the property sale was not completed.
Sidhu Farms is about 90 acres of plots throughout the valleys, with certified organic blueberries as their primary crop. They also grow strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, marion and boysenberries. While they are mainly a berry business, they also grow a wide assortment of vegetables including: tomatoes, cauliflower and brussel sprouts. In addition to these traditional valley crops, they grow Indian squash and okra which is sold through the Indian Market in Kent and Tukwilla.
