Hansen Woodland Farm

Our beautiful woodland farm is nestled in the rolling hills of Garden Valley, between Lake Ellen and the Columbia River in Northeast Washington's rural Ferry County. [Read our History of Rural Ferry County, WA: A County Without Traffic Lights.]

We're blessed with a sandy soil mix that works well for growing ponderosa pines (and other evergreens), maintaining pastures, and growing fruits and vegetables.

We just started our woodland farm, adding egg-producing chickens this year, with additional animals as our farm grows.

We have several fruit trees (cherry, apple, peach, plum), and have established our first large-scale fruit and vegetable garden this year.

We've just completed a management plan for our forest, and are now part of the American Tree Farm System -- as a Certified Tree Farm. We have established these goals for our woodland farm:

• Long-term forest stewardship
• Natural, sustainable growth/harvesting
• Protection of wildlife habitats
• Multi-generational legacy
