Horrific animal practices and absolutely not organic or regenerative as they state. Disgusting facility. Clearly have no idea what they’re doing. Just terrible.
I’m curious if you have actually been to the farm and have firsthand information on this, or if you are simply an internet troll. I’ve been to the farm. It’s definitely a work in progress, but the people are making an honest effort to build something. Their animals seem well cared for, and while it’s not a tourist destination, they’ve done a good job of building facilities to maintain and protect them. Its a farm. You probably think milk comes from the store and eggs come from the golden goose at the Willy Wonka factory. You should be banned from using computers.
Destroyed acres of beautiful old-growth trees and have the audacity to call themselves a regenerative farm. Shamful
I’ve lived on the island for a long time. That piece of property was for sale many times and was strawberry fields in the 1940’s. There is no “old growth” left on Bainbridge Island. Any person that does five seconds of research would discover that Bainbridge Island was clear cut several times to support the shipping industry and then became the “Strawberry Capital of the World” as a result of Japanese settlers converting the denuded land into agriculture. So the trees there were 50-60 years old, classified as “third-growth”. Additionally, because of people like you, the city does nothing to actively manage the forest land on Bainbridge and there is a well-know issue with laminated root rot. Talking the folks that now own that property, about a third of the trees cleared were infected.
You are entitled to your opinion of course, but its nothing more than that. An ill-informed opinion.
Maybe you should take the time to learn more about what they are doing than sitting at a terminal spewing your uniformed views…
Participated in the Kitsap Farm Tour and visited this property (early August). Great to see that it was a family affair, both in the activities they offered the public (interacting with baby ducks, building birdhouses, etc.) and in the farmer’s extended family helping out with the event. They currently sell farm-fresh eggs (chicken, duck, turkey) and honey, but only from the farm. Sounds like they have plans to expand their operations over the next couple of years. They’ve been at it a while. Not made as much progress as they’d like, but certainly headed in the right direction. Nice people. Nice concept. Be good for the community to support them. Small farms are a dying concept, and if we don’t help out with our community support, all we’ll have left is GMO food from massive corporate farms and no real food biodiversity.
