The Farm
Nature's Last Stand (NLS) is a 30-acre farm that resides along the Snoqualmie River, approximately 24 miles due east of Seattle. The property features grassy pasture for grazing animals and forested areas of bigleaf maple and western red cedar. Additionally, NLS encompasses floodplain wetlands and portions of Patterson Creek.
The Farmer
John Huschle began farming over two decades ago: first co-founding Full Circle Farms with friends from the midwest; then starting Nature's Last Stand in 1994. NLS, Certified Organic by the WSDA, grew row crops, canned jams and pickles, and provided home delivery of the Northwest's best organic produce. John eventually shifted his focus to raising animals and grass farming.
