We are a family-owned farm rooted atop Olequas little falls. Our mission is to provide fresh, locally grown produce and products to our community. Learn about our practices, and follow our journey in revitalizing this old homestead.
By supporting our native ecosystems, we support the relationships between plants, insects, birds, and other wildlife that have developed relationships together over millennia. Native plants form the foundation of these local food webs, providing the specialized resources wildlife needs to survive and reproduce. Planting native helps restore biodiversity, reconnect habitat, and strengthen the resilience of our shared landscape.
This Washington Native Plant Society plant list includes all native and commonly escaped exotic vascular plants of the Coastal Range of Washington, plus the islands of Puget Sound.
Xerces Societies conservation resources will help you find region-specific collections of publications, native seed vendors, and other resources to aid in planning, establishing, restoring, and maintaining pollinator habitat—as well as materials to help you learn about the species of invertebrates and native plants you might encounter.

Here are the tools, resources, and approaches we have used to recover and revitalize our homestead—from removing invasive plants and restoring neglected ground to reinforcing old structures, building new ones, and renewing the orchard of fruit and nut trees. Our goal is to preserve what can be saved, improve what is needed, and return the land to healthy, productive use.
Lewis County Stewardship Incentive Program for weed control
Lewis County unfortunately does not treat this threat as a corridor problem, and relies on individual landowners to control knotweed on their own properties. But other Washington counties show much more is needed.
Control method timing - from manual removal to injection windows
Manual knotweed management - Treating without herbicide
The Lost Apple Project is a nonprofit organization that searches abandoned farms and orchards in the Pacific Northwest to locate old apple varieties that have been thought to be lost or extinct.
Supporting nearby farms keeps more food dollars within the community, strengthens small agricultural businesses, and helps preserve working land. These links connect customers with local farms, food producers, markets, and seasonal buying opportunities.
