About Us
I have wanted to be a farmer since highschool. But no one from the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pa goes to college to study farming, so I didn't. I studied English Literature, Philosophy and Biology-get ready world here I come. It wasn't until 2002 when I re-evaluated my life, that I devoted myself to this career. I packed up everything that I could fit into my Subaru and moved from Dillon, Colorado to Sandpoint, Idaho to learn what I could from Diane Green at Greentree Naturals. After spending 3 seasons with her, I realized that I couldn't possibly farm on my own (no husband, no family, no land) and gave up this fantasy. I moved to Bend, Oregon because I mistakenly thought that maybe I was a city girl. I was very wrong. From there though, the universe worked its magic. The next thing I knew, I had moved yet again, this time to Newport, Wa. Here I found a couple looking for someone to farm two acres. Land problem solved. And they ran a therapeutic community for young adults, so if I could make weeding, transplanting, weeding, squishing bugs, and weeding fun, I would have help. Not having a family problem solved. I now have been at Penrith Farms for four seasons. The young adults seem to find working in the gardens with me fun. And we keep on producing fantastic food.

Gabriel Creek Ranch
Product Types: Soap, Chevon(goat) meat, Garlic, Handcare, eggs, garden produce, natural Deodorants
About Us
Gabriel Creek Ranch was established in 1988 by Todd and Sarah Mitchell. We started out ranching horses, beef, and sheep; later we sold the beef and replaced them with elk. Now we have a larger variety of animals including horses, elk, rabbits, sheep, goats, and poultry. We breed, train, and sell working Arabians and Appaloosas. Elk and Rabbits are bred and raised for meat; currently we have customers in both Washington and Idaho. Sheep are raised mainly for noxious weed control and some are sold for meat. We have a mixed flock of goats including dairy and meat goats. Milk from our dairy goats is used in the production of soap which is sold at a few local businesses and at craft fairs in the Sandpoint area. Poultry are mainly for egg production.

Double Decker Farm
Product Types: Gourmet quality garlic, superb potatoes and onions, luscious soap and delectable gourmet jams!!
About Us
I grow produce naturally in the Selle Valley on a farm with two gardens: one on top of the hill and the other at the bottom. I am particularly passionate about garlic. Food and cooking are a central part of life for me. That's why I like to grow the most robust and flavorful items I can. I believe in slow food and real food. I believe food matters. Thank you for ordering from me. I also like to make soap, which I truly hope makes you feel great. In December 2010 I got my Idaho Food Processor license, which enables me to bring you the jams I have been making for friends and family all of these years. I make the jam at a local commercial kitchen just for you, one jar at a time.

I am a natural farmer. I use compost and fertilizer to nourish plants. I use elbow grease and determination to control weeds. I believe that good food takes work and patience. My good pal Roxie the chocolate lab is my gardening companion. Besides stealing a few stray potatoes and overzealous digging for gophers, she's a great asset. Thank you for ordering from me.
Additional Information
I am one woman with a garden and a passion for food. It's just me, my wheelbarrow and a shovel at harvest time. I just want to share my produce with people who want to eat local and well. I also love to make soap. I go out of my way to make interesting scents and shapes -- I use real essential oils and don't skimp. Thank you for ordering from me.
