We gave up our 9-5 jobs for a healthier, active life. We traded miles of freeway driving for a bird’s eye view of Lake Roosevelt, fresh air and lots of exercise. Our goal is to create a sustainable farm using organic growing practices.
In the fall of 2007, we started our ranch with 12 Boer Goats and 125 chickens. The goats have added a lot of character to our ranch.
We started our first market garden in the Spring of 2008. We sold fresh organically raised vegetables, goat meat, free range eggs and quilted items at the local Farmers Market. I loved the market and it was so interesting and fun to meet all the people, vendor and customers.
In 2009 we built a commercial kitchen in our house so I can bake and sell Gluten Free breads and goodies at the farmers markets. I'm also selling my Gluten Free Breads and goodies at Huckleberry's and Isabella's Restaurant in Spokane.
2010 started with the arrival of 16 goat kids and another 50 chicks. We love to see the chickens forage all over the fields with the goats. This spring has been warm and we've already got some crops planted in the garden. We are looking forward to another great year at the Farmers Markets. This year we will be at the South Perry and Liberty Lake Farmers Markets. We hope to see you there!
2011 promisses to be another good year for the garden. We have added loads of goat manure again this past fall and now I'm looking through all the seed catalogs. I can't wait for the farmers markets to open again. You can find us at South Perry and at Liberty Lake markets again this summer. We have another 26 new chicks and February will be busy as our does have all their kids. It will be an exciting time on the farm.
