The Paths We Follow

Each year I am grateful as the Winter Solstice arrives, ushering in the slow but steady return of longer days. It adds to the feeling of hope as the preparations for Christmas and the New Year are in their fullness of expectation.

Your Nest Is Calling

If you've been to our Farmers Market booth in previous years, you're familiar with the beautiful yarn, roving, batts and raw fleece produced by our flock of Romney sheep. At market I loved to watch as passersby were often drawn to the booth by the undeniable magnetism of wool in its natural loveliness. Wool just calls to be touched.

The Far Reach Of Your Food Dollar

We've said it before and we'll say it many times again: Your local food dollars have more value than you know. Every time you buy a One Straw package of ground beef or a dozen eggs, you are supporting not only our small family farm but all the related small farms and farm businesses that we rely on.

Pandemic Pricing Fallout

This Is Not Your Typical Marketing Announcement. In the regular world of commerce, I don't believe I've ever seen a company advertise a price increase. From a marketing perspective, it really doesn't seem like good business to draw attention to negative implications. But we're not in the regular world of sales.

What Size Is That Egg?

Pullet eggs are here! Remember back to Spring when you were subjected to all those photos of cute baby chicks? Well, those little balls of fluff have quickly grown into young hens (pullets) and are starting to lay eggs!

Cape Cleare Salmon

New to the One Straw Farm! We are beyond excited to announce that we now carry delicious wild Alaskan Coho salmon fillets from Cape Cleare Fishery of Port Townsend. Hook and line caught, one fish at a time, in the icy waters of Alaska and then flash frozen at sea for maximum freshness, this may be the best fish you ever eat!
