The owner, Gretchen (Norman) Woody began organic farming in 1999.

While attending college in Bellingham, WA and studying Holistic Healing Arts in Mendocino, California she received a Bachelors of Arts Degree from Western Washington University in 2003. Gretchen designed her own concentration from Fairhaven College titled, Holistic Homesteading and Sustainable Agriculture.

After graduating and using her BA Degree, Gretchen began working for Dusty Williams at Broadleaf Farm for two growing seasons in 2004 and 2005. She continued to work and live on the farm at Broadleaf while starting her own farm business.

In 2005, Gretchen created and developed her own farm on leased land based on sustainable and organic agriculture influenced by the philosophy of Ayurvedic Holism and Healing Arts.

In 2010, the farm owner purchased land and now manages more than 15-acres. After 17 years of farming experience, Gretchen has established herself and son as dedicated members of their community. She is working as a food producer of Whatcom County and has a strong committed relationship with the land.

“to restore the health of the soil to restore the health of the plants, animals, and humans as a health preventative method for all life.”
