Backstory
We started the Backwoods Farm in 2013 with the help of a family friend who generously offered to rent us her land. Our main 1/2 acre plot is a quiet, sun kissed hillside near Walker Hook, five minutes north of Ganges.
When we began cultivating the soil, we were a couple of young inspired guys who had plenty of ambition, very little money, strong backs, and a lack of practical farming experience. Since then we have learned from intimately observing our many successes and failures.
Four seasons later, we can proudly say that we grow thousands of pounds of vegetables and fruit each season.
All our produce is grown naturally, which means without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
Our mission at the Backwoods farm is to grow intensely delicious and nutritious produce for Island locals and their families.
