Three generations of our family are involved in raising dairy sheep and making farmstead and artisan cheese on our farm in Southwest Washington State. We have a passion for blue sheep and cow milk cheese and our emerging family of cheeses reflect our love of blue!  Together we are sharing the joys and the challenges of life on a family farm.

The Willapa Hills Trail runs 56 miles between Chehalis and South Bend in Washington state. Formerly a Northern Pacific Railway, this corridor was rail banked and is in the process of being converted into a rail-trail. Though both ends are paved, there are several trestles that are unimproved or have been washed away in the 2007 floods and a large portion of the trail is still ballast and may be covered with brush. Both trestles are scheduled to be replaced by FEMA in the next 2 years.

The Willapa Hills, rising to 3,110 feet above sea level, are part of the Coast Range. They are situated between the Olympic Mountains to the north and the Columbia River to the south. The Willapa Hills physiographic province includes the Black Hills, Doty Hills, and the adjacent broad valleys that open up to the Pacific Ocean. Barrier beaches characterize the low-lying coastline, behind which there are major estuaries such as Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay.
