This week's search for a land, machinery, and a barn has finally come to a close. After meeting many people in this aggressively slow process, we have found five beautiful acres on a rich sandy-loam peninsula just outside of Duvall. Jubilee Farm's owner, Erick Haakenson, has again provided us with the resources needed to move our farm business forward. Allyn and I would certainly still be pouring over Craig's List and outdated Farmlink postings grasping for anything that came along while King county's land owners are scrambling to maintain their property-tax exemptions for agriculture. We suspect that the county is searching for lost tax revenue, and idle land may benefit both land owners and newer farmers trying to establish themselves. Having said this, we have felt a huge wave of relief and our focus has now turned to building our customer base and infrastructure.
