About Us
Sage & Willow Farm is my little Poulsbo homestead, rebranded in late 2024 after many years as The Smithshyre. It’s home to my dairy goats, chickens, and turkeys, and the heart of my work is shifting toward medicinal and culinary herbs, handcrafted farm products, and naturally raised foods.
This is a fresh start for me — a chance to rebuild my farm with intention, simplicity, and a focus on what grows well here. I plan to offer seasonal berries and other permaculture-inspired harvests as they become available throughout the year.
Everything I do here is rooted in old-fashioned, land-honoring practices. I grow what thrives, raise animals with care, and craft products that reflect the real work of a small, heritage-style homestead.

Practices
Actually Organic Homestead
When I say “Actually Organic,” I mean growing and raising food the way it used to be — before chemicals, shortcuts, and engineered genetics became the norm. I believe food is best when it’s grown naturally, in harmony with the land. If something doesn’t grow well here without intervention, I simply don’t grow it.
All of my vegetables are started from heirloom, open‑pollinated, organic seeds from reputable growers. No hybrids, no altered genetics — just real plants with real flavor. I especially love unusual or specialty varieties, and if I can find the seeds, I’ll try growing them.
Soil & Garden Stewardship
I refresh my gardens with compost made right here on the farm and give the soil regular rest through cover cropping. This keeps the ground healthy, alive, and able to support strong plants year after year.
Animal Welfare & Pasture Practices
My animals are fed organic, non‑GMO feed and raised on pasture to support both land and animal health. Sunlight, natural forage, and room to roam are central to how I raise them. This approach produces deeply flavorful, nutrient‑rich eggs and meat from animals that lived well.
Farm‑Crafted Soaps
My soaps are made with primarily organic ingredients, many of which come directly from my farm. I use my own organic‑fed, pasture‑raised tallow and goat milk, combined with: *olive oil, *coconut oil, *castor oil, *jojoba oil (for shampoo bars), high‑quality fragrance oils from Bramble Berry & lye (because soap simply can’t be made without it) (*certified organic)
I also offer fragrance‑free bars for those who prefer a completely natural option. I’m sensitive to synthetic fragrances myself, but Bramble Berry’s oils are gentle enough that I use half the recommended amount for a softer, more natural scent.
