David and Stacia Moffett are members of the
WSU Biological Sciences department who stepped outside of the box over a
decade ago to buy property in a canyon along the Snake River.
Our goal was to live where we could have a
real garden, a good place for our dogs, and where we could see the stars at
night. We have always believed in living lightly on the land and farming
sustainably. Our Wawawai Canyon home, outside of Colton, Washington is a
certified organic farm. Our major crop is wine grapes, which we can now
process into wine and bottle at our newly licensed winery.
For some years we have been able to expand
our original goal of growing most of our own food to also supply vegetables,
flowers, herbs, nuts and fruit for local markets. Most recently, we have
accepted memberships in Moffett’s Organics Community Supported Agriculture.
This apprenticeship offers an extensive list
of studies covering all aspects of raising certified organic wine grapes in
the vineyard, along with a market garden consisting of nuts, fruit and
vegetables produced by intensive use of small plots and successfully
marketing their products.
Distance is a reasonable
commute to farm from Moscow, Pullman and surrounding areas.
Non-smokers only.
