The farm is located on eighteen beautiful acres on the Olympic Peninsula in NW Washington in the small town of Chimacum (that's about 40 miles NW of Seattle). The land is mostly flat grassland, and raising cattle and hay is a natural fit for the property.
In 2004 the herd was drastically reduced. This was an economic decision based on escalating costs for everything from hay to vaccines, while the farm continued to receive roughly the same price for cattle and beef as 15 years ago. Currently (May 3, 2009) there are 6 brood cows, 7 calves, and one bull. Cows are selected for heavy milking, good dispositions and a productive track record.
