Welcome. I’m Shaye.

My husband Stuart and I, along with our circus of four children, live on a small two acre homestead in Washington State. We plant and harvest, nurture and cull, say hello to newborn animals and goodbye to older ones, and pray that it all comes together from season to season.

On our small farm, we have a dairy cow (Cecelia), a flock of laying hens, duck, sheep, a lot of produce growing in our gardens, and fruit ripening on our trees. From this space and effort we're able to grow and cook a lot of our own food. In the kitchen, we love to celebrate the tastes, flavors, and never ending forward movement of life here on the farm.

We’re grateful that our plates are full, the music is loud, the wine glasses are rarely empty, and the fellowship with family and friends is rich. Though it’s far from perfect – or easy – this is the life we love.
