~Our journey began with a modest 200 sqft growing plot, 30 chickens and some leaves. Over the past 3 years with a lot of love and even more compost, our garden has blossomed into a 1/4 acre growing space, with 2- 50 ft high tunnels and an additional 5 acres dedicated to rotational pasture for our flock of one hundred chickens.

Although, our farming journey didn’t really start there. During the midst of expanding Wild Mountain Farm, we worked 6 growing seasons for a neighbor farm; Cedarville. There we found our true passion for farming. Spending everyday at the mercy of Mother Nature, paying tribute to the weather gods and flowing with the seasons. All the while, being mentored and growing under Mike Fingers watchful eye, like young seedlings ourselves.

As if we don’t get enough outdoor time, when our days are not spent cultivating vegetables or tending to chickens, we head to the mountains. To remind us of the beauty that is Washington, and that we really are little fish in a big ocean.

~These humbling trips, are what truly drive our motivation to grow food attentively. To impact the environment around us as little as possible. To welcome the natural world into our garden beds and to let nature do its thing!

We refuse to use pesticides, herbicides, insecticides or synthetic chemicals.

Instead we rename ourselves soil stewards. We amend our soil by growing living mulches, rotating our chickens, and using compost. We encourage biodiversity into our garden through the plants and flowers we grow, and the various bugs, birds and other wildlife that find refuge in our garden. We welcome predatory insects into our garden to pray on the pests and hawks and owls to prey on vermin. All keeping steady balance. Just how nature intended.

By sourcing local and selling local we close the loop to out sourcing various things. We believe we are reducing our carbon footprint and will continue to learn how to grow food the best way possible for our community but also for the land and all that share it with us.
