About Us

Who We Are

Founded in 2022, we're a small farm located in the beautiful Delphi Valley in Olympia, Washington. We raise chickens and goats, and grow various fruits, nuts, and vegetables. We believe agriculture can exist in harmony with nature, rather than destroying it like large factory farms do. We believe in sustainability, self-reliance, and the spirit of resistance.

Our farm hosts a wide array of wildlife, from deer and elk to wild rabbits and bears, many different species of songbird and several species of birds of prey. Our pastures have as many flowering weeds as grasses in them, feeding our local bees. We believe in working with nature using regenerative farming practices. Currently we have a solar system on the farm generating about 50% of our power. Our long term goals include increasing our system capacity and adding battery storage as well. We use rotational grazing with our livestock in order to better protect our pastures from overgrazing and soil loss, allowing for better carbon sequestering.

We compost everything we can including our manure so that it can be returned to the gardens and fields as nutrient rich topsoil. Proper composting with enough mixing and turning creates more CO2 rather than methane as things decompose. Methane is much, much worse overall for its potential to trap and retain heat in the atmosphere. We're careful to keep our raw manure away from local water sources too.

Our pest control and fertilizer regimen are all natural. We're building hugelkultur beds using existing rotting logs and brush from our property to grow our produce in. Hugelkultur beds can reduce or eliminate watering and fertilizing after they've become established, as well as the benefits of breaking down waste brush, logs, and other organic material into usable, nutrient rich soil.

​

Update for 2024: We're very excited to see for the first time since moving here Red Winged Blackbirds visiting our farm, possibly breeding in our wetland! We believe our management of the wetland had made this possible by not letting livestock graze it. We hope that it will gradually heal over time as it rests, offering critical habitat to various species of wildlife.
