We are more than just a willow farm.
Hedgerow Willows flock & farm was founded with the idea of providing access to basketry Willow for people who take classes but can't find, grow, or source material. It was a struggle that I had in my weaving journey.
That said, my 20-year apprenticeship in farming and small homesteading has been more of a well-rounded instead of a singular focus.
I find that that is making it a little bit challenging to stay focused on just Willow here.
That said, I have 15 years of experience in homegrown meat products. Rabbits and Cornish cross chickens are where I started, and now we've added sheep.
Rabbits and sheep benefit from using the Willow as a fodder crop. A really great balance so long as the rabbits stay out of the willow during the primary growing season.
Cornish cross meat chickens benefit from the shade. The Willows offer later in the season as we tractor them along the edges to fertilize the pasture, clean up the bugs, and grow meat for ourselves.
One of my main passions is educating anybody who is interested, And sometimes even those who are not, in sustainability and homesteading production on a small scale.
With a great community, you can provide 80% of your food in the Pacific Northwest.
Homesteading doesn't have to be a solo journey. Dig into that community aspect. Find one thing that you can sell off your farm that the community needs and use that for bartering if you're not interested in running a business.
On June 21st I'll be hosting a processing workshop where these beautiful Cornish cross will be butchered here on the farm.
If you are interested in learning how to process your own chickens, but you're concerned about doing it on your own. Come on out and enjoy an afternoon learning your next homestead skill.
I'll show you how to use the conservation district of Whatcom county's rental equipment. And you can buy a farm fresh chicken after participating in the process if you'd like.
We have 15 slots available in this Homestead workshop.
