I moved to the Oregon Coast 25 years ago and started farming with a small vegetable plot on an off grid homestead.
Over many years I slowly grew my carrots and lettuce into a larger community CSA vegetable farm serving 50 families and training many young farmers over a 10 year stretch.
I had the incredible opportunity to create my dream of a farm based wellness and education center in 2015 when the “red barn” property across the street from my small homestead came up for sale by owners that were also my friends and mentors.
With their support and lots of help and community financing I was able to sell my first farm and invest love, time and energy into remodeling North Fork 53’s historic farmhouse.
After a summer marathon of work, North Fork 53 opened for business on October 31st, 2015!
Over ten years North Fork 53 evolved to a sacred space for wellness, relaxation, tea and celebration.
My mission at North Fork and moving forward is to create a nurture culture- where the beautiful world our hearts know is possible manifests through community and creativity.
The next evolution of North Fork 53 will manifest in the Nurture Nation website - which will be coming soon in 2025.
