Producer

Here at One Willow Farm we believe in being practical, sustainable homesteaders. We strive to grow and produce products we use in our everyday life that we can share with you. We believe in providing a quality product that is familiar and practical for our family, friends and neighbors. Our micro-farm aims to only produce items that will enhance the land and not deplete it of its natural resources. We believe in using the land available to us in an ethical manner so that what we grow and produce is sustainable within our limitations. We believe in the spirit of ingenuity and self-sufficiency while embracing the community in which we live. We are constantly learning and developing our own little homestead. And yes, there is just one willow tree on the farm!

The 2024 season will see us bring back the Cornish Cross meat bird. We brood all our chicks at our home farm just south of Oak Harbor for 3-4 weeks (depending on weather) before moving them to pasture at Greenbank Farm where they live in chicken tractors with limited free-range around the tractors. Our meat birds are moved to fresh grass at least once every day to ensure they get plenty of fresh bugs and forage. We feed our birds a non-GMO feed that is soy free and corn free from Red Bridge Farm in Kettle Falls, WA. Our meat birds are processed at WSDA facilities in Western Washington.

We have a mixed flock of laying hens currently comprised mostly of Rhode Island Reds (non-industrial), Barred Rocks, and Australorps with a handful of other breeds scattered in the mix. We believe in preserving heritage breed livestock so that future generations may enjoy them. So we have some heritage breeds in our flock as well, they include Dominique (watch), Delaware (recovering), Sumatra (threatened), and Sussex (recovering). In 2024 we will be adding Novagens to our laying flock, which will increase our egg production. These happy hens also enjoy non-GMO feed that is corn and soy free from Red Bridge Farm in Kettle Falls, WA. Eggs are hand picked daily, washed and packed ready for your to add to your food hub order.
