Our Chickens!
Our little flock supplies the eggs for our families, and as they are free to forage, they produce healthy eggs that nourish. Collecting eggs and feeding grain is a job well-done by the kids!
Restoring heritage grains and livestock, forgotten farming practices and life to the soil, while reconnecting families to farmers.

Einkorn!
This unique grain that we are raising has high nutritional values but due to a tough hull or outer shell, is difficult to transform into flour. We hope to make this available in the near future with developments in de-hulling!

Family
Our family
After working 10 years in a corporate job in Seattle, Jason felt the need to return to steward the land, so we brought our family back to the farm he grew up on and haven't looked back! We are blessed to raise our kids on the farm and give them a hand in helping raise food and care for animals. Jason is the first of 3 sons to Mike and Patti, who have been farming for nearly 40 years. They are about to hand the torch to us to continue farming the land his family has farmed for now 5 generations. We are passionate learners, from researching the lost ways of farming pre-WWII, to utilizing equipment available today in an effort to better the soil that feeds our crops, animals, and us.
Cattle
Our cattle are predominantly a Galloway herd, a species native to the British Isles, which are known for their fuzzy winter coats that keeps them warm so they don't develop a thick fat layer to stay warm through the winters and therefore end up marbling their fat, making a more tender beef. Our goal with livestock is to integrate them into the cropland to manage vegetative growth of cover crops and fertilize and inoculate the soil naturally.
