The westside of Vashon Island is the most mild and beautiful part of the island. The fruit grows best there and having both eastern and western light is a special treat. The farm is unusually peaceful. The light is particularly beautiful during the "golden hours" from 4 or 5 pm to 9 pm in the summer.
Our gardens are in a beautiful cottage (read "messy and a bit random") style and will delight visitors, especially if you are a plant and flower lover. If you like fruit, we have over 20 apple trees, eight plum trees, a peach, four to five pear, Asian pear, and six different cherry trees. My favorites are the tart pie cherry trees in late June for jam, pies and scones!
If you love birds, this is a bird's paradise with a variety of habitats consistent with the grasses, woods and flowers of the Pacific Northwest. My favorite is to hike west to the bluff and then explore the NW corner to the second bluff where our resident Barred Owl and hawks live.
