Though the pawpaw is generally unknown to the American public, it is the largest edible fruit native to the US. The fruit is indigenous to 26 states, from northern Florida to Maine and west to Nebraska. As a much loved fruit, European settlers named towns, creeks, and islands after the pawpaw. Today, pawpaws are primarily eaten in very rural areas, and many Americans are wholly unfamiliar with the fruit. The Pawpaw has a creamy, custard-like flesh with a tropical flavor, which is often described as a combination of mango, pineapple, and banana.
Want humanely produced eggs? Most hens on our farm are rescued from commercial egg operations or locally from the community and are allowed to live out their full lives. They eat organic feed and fresh organic produce, can roam in ample outdoor areas, take dust baths, lay in the sun, and catch worms and bugs. We protect the hens from predators, but do not kill wildlife. The chickens receive good medical care if they are hurt or sick. We also offer duck eggs (seasonal).

“To see the abundance of produce from some of the most fertile farmland in the West displayed beside wild king salmon, artisanal goat cheese and regional honey is to understand the essential roles farming and fishing play in the life and economy of the region” — February, 2004
