Sunchild Flourish Co.

Sunchild Flourish Co. is a family-run merchant healthy living organization that is dedicated to sharing fresh, organic whole foods, ecological crafts and commodities, and healthy living publications both locally and worldwide. Our operation began back in 2016, with the development of our first organic biointensive farm in Hector, Arkansas. In rural Arkansas, just south of the Ozark Mountains, we embarked upon a mission to take our passion for whole-food cooking and toxic-free living and share our knowledge and abundance with others.

Our first operation began its foundation in 2015 with a permaculture design to include an orchard, hair sheep, hogs, rabbits, poultry, and other fruits and vegetables. Techniques such as hügelkultur, companion planting, beekeeping, and other conservation methods were implemented. In 2018, Sunchild Flourish Co. had expanded its operations to include several new enterprises in the River Valley region of Arkansas and had opened its markets to sell to customers both locally and globally. We collaborated with several local vendors and markets with trading healthy living merchandise to the public. In 2019, we were selected and funded by SSARE to organize sustainable agriculture research, specifically in studying biointensive, organic production principles in agroforestry systems.

In the wake of the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic and after divorce, our family relocated to Spokane, Washington – a place that provided better economic living conditions for our family and allowed us to be in closer proximity to other family members in the region. Here Sunchild Flourish founder Krissy Waters completed her Masters of Science in Agriculture studies at Washington State University and founded the non-profit food organization Spokane Community Market, Inc. in 2021.

It is our vision that local communities should have safe access to fresh, locally grown foods and commodities, that producers (no matter how small) who operate within the scope of the law should have easy accessibility to safely marketing their goods and reaching local consumers, and that communities should have access to sustainability education, resources, and community-entrepreneurship education.

We now operate our market garden out of two 1/4 acre urban lots with a focus on sustainability, heirloom & organic plant production, and food preservation. It is our belief that citizens – young and old, even city dwellers, should have open accessibility to self-sufficiency/homesteading knowledge and commodities, as well as safe access to healing, non-toxic foods, and products.
