If you are looking to embrace a homesteading lifestyle without having to buy property, we would welcome a visit to our farm.
Presently, we have one Caretaker who lives full time on the property, but we have room for an additional individual or couple to join our self-sufficient community. There are plenty of possibilities and space for you to integrate your own homesteading/farming vision into ours. The property has a lot of potential with lots of infrastructure already in place
We, the owners, still work out of state, but are normally on the property 2-3 weeks per month. Our goal is to holistically farm full-time within the next 5-7 years and be 100% self sufficient using the resources on the farm. We emphasize being part of our local community.
There is presently a variety of farm animals and garden space and greenhouses in place, which makes this a perfect place to embrace back to basics living.
We presently have a 5th wheel trailer in place for living quarters.
We are open to a visit with anyone would like to come and take a look at our set-up and living arrangements and see if it would meet your needs, including a semi-retired or retired person who is looking to begin a new chapter in life or a novice to the homesteading lifestyle.
The farm is presently supported by our “off farm” work income. Our present idea for a future farm income stream is renting our house through Air B&B when we are off the farm as well as creating additional living spaces to rent through Hipcamp, VRBO, and Air B&B. We will be in need of additional help to manage our guests.
A possible opportunity for someone wanting to escape city living to work remotely from the farm, as we do have fast internet service.
Beautiful, remote setting with gorgeous views, great neighbors and community support. Spectacular sunsets, pristine air (we get the sea breeze from the coast), fresh produce, milk, eggs and grass fed meats.
We are a 1 hour drive up I-5 from Portland and 35 miles from the coast.

Over the past year, we have acquired animals for the farm (which we use as tools), built a fenced in (deer proof) garden area, planted fruit trees and berries, built a greenhouse, installed a fodder growing system, installed rainwater catchment.
Future projects include ongoing land regeneration, building camp sites, remodeling ceder barn for studio space/conference center.
