    QUILLISASCUT, pronounced Quil-li-sās-cut, and translated as “place of scattered bushes”, is located 85 miles northwest of Spokane, Washington, 45 miles due south of the Canadian border. Lora Lea and Rick Misterly, operators of Quillisascut, have been milking their goats and producing their artisan cheese on 36-acres since 1987.

Quillisascut offers internship and mentorships focused on dairy goat husbandry, poultry, the farm-to-table continuum, provides experience with mixed vegetable and fruit gardens, a small vineyard, composting, rotational grazing, integrated pest management, and offers a week-long Farm School on Sustainable Small Farming and Ranching.  Lodging is available for interns who choose to live on the farm.  

"I feel it is the duty for all of us who love working with the land to share the information we have gained with others. This farm school is my goal for passing on the knowledge gathered over the last 20 years on this piece of land."  - Lora Lea Misterly
