We are a big family with a small farm located a mile off the Sunset Highway in Spokane, Washington. In addition to enjoying incredible sunsets, we practice rotational grazing, no till, regenerative farming. By using these methods, our animals improve the soil over time so that both animals and soil work together in a symbiotic relationship for a healthier farm.
Our farm started with a goal for our family: we gave ourselves one year to be exclusively eating meat grown on our land. Not only did we achieve that goal, but we began extensively researching farming methods – both the large scale production that leads to what we have available in our local stores and the smaller scale methods that are still managing to provide large quantities of food for their communities. Our research led to two main conclusions: the first- that the current system of mass production and consumption of food is worse than we ever imagined. The second- it doesn’t have to be this way! Our journey led us to a much larger goal: to be a part of the solution by showing others how to grow, source, and eat ethically and organically raised, nutrient dense food from your own backyard and local community.

Our community gets the best of us: We send out free lessons & tutorials, our favorite recipes, gardening guides (like our secret to growing prolific peppers), and every once in a while some fun freebies (a favorite book, some seeds from our collection, etc). Our community also gets 24 hours advance notice on any new classes or products we drop before we share with the public/social media so they can be the first to sign up. And the only discounts we give go to our community members as well.
If our community sounds pretty awesome, that’s because it is!
This Spring is the first time we have seen all the major hatcheries sold out of chicks.. it’s crazy! We are so excited to see so many people getting into backyard poultry.
Since we have quite a bit of experience with all the various types of poultry, we put together this email series filled with info to help you navigate the basics of all of it so you can (hopefully) have an easier time determining what is {and isn’t} for you!
Here’s the summary of what the series includes:
Part 1: Raising Guinea fowl (an honest review)
Part 2: Raising meat chickens & meat ducks (and our stats on how many chicks we buy, how much meat we end up with in the freezer, the amount of feed we go through, and our cost per pound)
Part 3: Raising laying chickens & laying ducks (and how we store eggs at room temperature for up to 18 months)
Part 4: Raising geese
Part 5: How to upgrade your coop so you can go on vacation
Part 6: Raising turkeys for meat
