Mystery Bay Farm is a small scale, family farm operating on 5 acres on Marrowstone Island. As of spring 2009, we are a WSDA certified Grade A Dairy. We produce farmstead, goat milk cheeses for general sale (which means we make cheese only from the milk of our animals). In addition to cheese sales, we offer educational farm tours, farm dinners, local handmade pottery (mugs and cheese plates) and organic T-shirts and sweatshirts - all with our Mystery Bay Farm logo.

While these tours (and eventually classes) provide additional income to the farm, they also serve to educate and integrate the community into the farm. As career educators, we feel that there is a need to inform the greater public about where our food comes from and to provide a genuine experience for the growing number of people interested in artisan, non-industrial food production and farming.

We came to farming via ecology. Our interest in trying to create a truly sustainable farming system grow out of observation of natural system from which the word 'sustainable: resilient, adaptable, evolving and thus stable', is derived. We believe that farming can be done in an ecologically, economically and socially responsible manner.

See the Our Goats for more information concerning our pasture management strategies.

For the 2011 season we are thrilled to have our assistant Becca Argo joining us again for another season with the goats and humans here on Mystery Bay Farm.
