Our Story
Luke and Karli moved to the farm mid 2019 after taking a couple of years rehabbing the house and making it into a livable space. We have since added two family members, a few dozen pigs, chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys. Each year we add new features around the farm including 60 hazelnut trees, over 80 apple trees (and counting), a duck pond and garden and have many more ideas in the works to continue improving the land.
Much of the land was initially covered in blackberries, with tons of garbage wound in between the brambles that have since been removed. Our pigs are great helpers for uncovering treasures that have been in the ground for years. Marbles, golf balls and random things all over the farm. Oh yes, so many hidden treasures. Ha! The history of our neighborhood as we know it, is that it was granted to the Craddick family around the turn of the century. The original homestead is below our property and over the years the property was split between children and family members. It sparks curiosity to think of what this land has seen before we came to acquire it. We’re excited to watch it take shape as we gently massage it into a more beautiful, sustainable land.
We’ve been told there was an apple orchard here with two original trees remaining. We’ve also found grape leaves growing in the pasture from projects past. As our current apple and hazelnut trees grow and more are planted, we intend to eventually finish our hogs on apples and hazelnuts. This has been practiced in Europe for a long time to wield the most delicious pork available.
Aside from the day to day farm projects, Luke also co-owns a geoduck harvesting business in Mason County. Not sure what a geoduck is? It's a seafood specialty. Karli recently took a sabbatical from her 22 year practice of massage and master esthetics to keep things rolling around the farm and raising two kiddos. As entrepreneurs, we have plans to combine our life experiences of farming, health, raising animals and growing plants while bringing up our kids.
We look forward to sharing our hope for the future by providing you the choice of a healthy food option.
