About Us

Wild Edge Farm lies along the Elwha River, a resource that has for centuries fed the people of this area. The name Wild Edge comes from the recognition that today, more than ever, nurtured wild edges are an essential ingredient for health and well-being.

By managing grazing and leaving edges, our pastures maintain diversity and improve soil health, allowing us to offer grass-fed beef and pastured pork that is hormone-free and nutrient-dense from animals that are raised with care.

We sell beef and pork shares, as well as custom cut quarter, half and whole animals. We supply meat and vegetables locally at the Port Angeles Farmers Market, online, and through the Farm to Food Pantry and Farm to School programs. Our 20 week CSA runs from mid-June to early November. We are members of the Livestock Conservancy, and are raising heritage breed Tamworth hogs.

Growing & Operating Practices

We practice regenerative, organic agriculture, focusing on soil life by minimizing tillage, and utilizing cover crops, bio-char, multi species managed grazing, and crop rotation. By integrating animal agriculture with our vegetable production we improve soil health while increasing the nutrient density of our vegetables. Our heritage breed Tamworth hogs are raised outdoors year round on the farm. Our beef is 100% grass fed, moved daily to maximize nutrition. The flash grazing of beef followed by pigs and chickens limits disturbance and distributes nutrients to the pasture grasses.
