About the Garden
I first came to the Stehekin Valley via the pacific crest trail in 1975 and fell in love with it and the Paysaten wilderness area to the North I had just hiked through.
I purchased my property in 1978, six acres with an acre organic garden. I had met and married my wife in the garden the previous year. Together we originated and operated the Honey Bear Bakery on our property, expanded the garden into a commercial venture, established bees for honey production and goats for cheese making and manure for the garden, and created a working self sufficient homestead.
The organic garden is virgin soil supported by composted goat manure, kelp, liquid seaweeds, and green manuring with winter rye. Irrigation is by gravity flow creek water and sub irrigated by Lake Chelan water when the lake is full. There is ample southern exposure and a heat reflective rock bluff to create optimum growing conditions.
Most of the seed used is produced in the garden creating acclimated vigorous plants. All of the vegetables grow into large succulent, flavorful vegetables that are some of the best ever. Fresh local organic in-season vegetables are a wonderful way to maintain health and enjoy rich flavors.
I am passionate in supplying the highest quality vegetables possible for your enjoyment and health. I am honored to do so.
Come visit the garden in Stehekin and shake my hand.
