Finn Hall Farm - 50 Acres
Campaign Goal $500,000

From the rich and productive soils of Finn Hall Farm, one can see the magnificent Olympic Mountains to the south and the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north. The farm, owned by the family of John and Carmen Jarvis since the 1920s, has been managed mostly as a dairy and currently as a cow/calf and hay operation.

Finn Hall Farm is unique. Its soils are designated prime by the USDA. The climate allows for agricultural production year round, and there is irrigation infrastructure on the farm, as well as a constructed wetland. The acreage is flat and well drained. The Jarvis family has lovingly and diligently cared for this exceptional property for five generations. Read More...

 

 “A good farmer could grow anything on that land,” says Nash Huber. “It has excellent soil for producing important seed crops and would grow terrific vegetables!”
