Our fishing business (Graveyard Point Fish) is a family setnet operation on the Kvichak river in Bristol Bay. We fish from small open skiffs, pulling nets and hand-picking each fish to ensure that it is flash-frozen quickly and in good condition.
The incredible Bristol Bay watershed is home to a wild sockeye population that has been steadily increasing for over 50 years.

We are stewards of a small farm on East County Rd, where we raise pastured lamb as part of our restoration practice.
We use management-intensive grazing rotations to improve the soil and produce a healthy animal and a high quality product. We are also engaged in restoration work on 8 acres of wooded and riparian habitat in the center of our farm.

Custom lambs can be harvested on-farm and butchered locally. This reduces stress on the animal and contributes more directly to our local food system.
We often have beautiful ewe lambs that are breeding quality and can be sold as starter flocks or individually. All of our Gotlands are registered and are bred for heartiness, friendly temperament and wool quality.
Wethers make wonderful fiber sheep, and provide gorgeous hides.
In early spring, we may select a couple Gotland Ram lambs to leave intact as breeding stock. Let us know early if you are interested in a registered Gotland ram.
We are in the process of building a licensed butchering facility on farm. We are exited for the improved experience this will give our animals as well as our customers!
We will also provide the space for customers to perform halal harvest on our farm, or to purchase a whole lamb and process themselves in our facility.
The butcher shop will also be available on a limited basis to community members for personal meat processing.
We are proud to be part of the Bristol Bay setnet fleet, a commercial fishery with one of the smallest ecological footprints. We fish one location all season from small skiffs, minimizing fuel consumption and ensuring that we provide the highest quality product possible.
Our seasonal preparations begin at home in the early spring, when we hang our fishing nets and pack up food, materials and gear to send north on the barge to Alaska. In early June, we stage in Naknek, Alaska, preparing and planning our trip out to our fishing sites near Graveyard Point, at the mouth of the Kvichak river. We make the trip to our site in our two skiffs and call fish-camp home until the season concludes in early August.
We are a family operation, and work together in every part of the harvest. We look forward to fishing not only because we love what we do, but because being at fish camp means time with siblings, parents and childhood friends.
Set net fishing allows us to have a lot of control over how the salmon are handled and delivered, and our goal is to produce the highest quality fillet possible. We pull our nets by hand and remove each fish before letting the net return to the water. We fish around the clock, delivering frequently to ensure that the fish are brought from the net to refrigerated tanks as quickly as possible. Fish are vacuum sealed and flash frozen soon after delivery, ensuring the fresh-caught quality reaches your table.
The Bristol Bay watershed is comprised of five large rivers, and the bay opens into the Bearing Sea. Every one of these rivers is a reminder of the Columbia before settler impact, with an estimated 79 million wild fish having returned to Bristol Bay in 2022. In the Bristol Bay watershed, there is still no large-scale mining, dams, logging or development.
Because of the health of this watershed, the Bristol Bay salmon fishery provides over 15,000 American jobs every year. It is critical that we work together to ensure that this incredible ecosystem is protected for generations to come.
We raise a variety of sheep for both wool and meat. We are moving to a predominantly Gotland flock, and are excited to offer raw wool as well as tanned fleeces. We do have a small group of white sheep as well (Icelandic/gotland) to balance out our flock and our offerings.
We are in the process of restoring 8 acres of riparian habitat that runs through the middle of our farm. The Okanogan Conservation District was our partner in installing fencing to exclude this area from grazing, while allowing wildlife to utilize this treed swath as a travel corridor. We are managing invasives and replanting culturally significant plants as well as food plants for wildlife.
We are also managing our irrigation and planting drought tolerant pasture mixes, with the goal of reducing our overall water usage. Water that is not used on our irrigation ditch will return to the Methow river. We are on track to install solar electric power to our butcher shop and irrigation systems in 2024.
We use natural, regenerative practices to improve soil health and the well being of our livestock. These practices include cover cropping, using rotational grazing and applying manure and natural soil supplementation to reach a long-term balance of soil nutrients. We use species-specific natural methods to control invasive plants. This is a biological farm, and we never use chemical fertilizers or herbicides.
UTBB is an incredible and inspiring organization. In their own words: "Our work is primarily focused on three areas: Tribal consultation with government agencies on issues affecting our Native way of life; grassroots organizing on the local, statewide and national arena; and youth empowerment and organizing in the Bristol Bay region."
This multi-faceted organization supports a project delivering wild sockeye to residents in the Yukon River watershed, where ecological and management issues resulted in communities being without access to their traditional food source.
We make donations of fish to various organizations in
Central Washington.
