Just outside Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, our farm sits in a valley between mountains. It’s a small, working landscape, orchard, gardens, greenhouses, coop, and a few well-worn paths that children and chickens know by heart. We steward this place with one aim: heal the soil, feed our neighbors, and let the land shape the pace of our days.
North Idaho
Where We Farm
North Idaho gives us four honest seasons and the kind of light that makes everything grow slower and sweeter. We plan with the weather, not against it.
How We Grow
- Organic methods: no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers - ever.
- Regenerative mindset: compost, deep mulching, living roots, and minimal till to protect the soil web.
- Water-wise: drip irrigation and thick mulch to save moisture in summer and protect microbes year-round.
- Biodiversity first: companion planting and habitat that invites pollinators and beneficial insects.
Orchard & Beds
An established orchard anchors the farm. We prune for light and air, under seed with clover and wildflowers, and return every leaf and branch we can as mulch. Annual beds are built on compost and covered through winter so the soil stays alive between crops.
Animals at Work
Our laying hens are more than egg makers, they’re partners in the orchard. They scratch for pests, turn bedding into future compost, and leave behind the best kind of fertilizer. Their movement is intentional and gentle on the land.
The Greenhouses
The greenhouses are our all-season hub: seeds in late winter, microgreens and produce on a steady rhythm. After work, benches become long tables for potlucks and community gatherings.
A Closed Loop Farm
Kitchen scraps, plant trimmings, and coop bedding become compost; compost feeds the beds and orchard; healthy soil feeds us back. That simple loop guides every decision, from what we plant to how we clean up at the end of the day.
What You’ll Find (Season by Season)
- Winter: pruning, planning, soil building, and hot tea in the greenhouse
- Spring: transplants and a flowering orchard
- Summer: full beds, sun sweet harvests, evenings in the rows
- Fall: fruit heavy on the branches, cover crops, and the slow turn toward rest
Our Promise to the Land
We keep our scale human so we can notice things: the first ladybug of spring, the way water moves after a storm, the spots that need more shade or less traffic. We grow food with integrity and transparency, and we’ll tell you exactly how it was grown.
