This magical land has drawn us home. Welcome to Red Mark Farm. Heidi Benzonelli’s great grandfather came from Italy with the dream of someday having a farm. Nicola worked and toiled in an unfamiliar land, finally in 1949 he secured a small piece of land in California, the day he moved to the future farm, he died, leaving behind his family, his dream and his tools and possessions marked with a sw
ath of Red Paint. Born and raised in Kennewick Washington, the land Red Mark Farm is on was “down the back of the hill” from Heidi’s family home. It was a turkey farm, with vegetables, grapes, fruit trees and acres of wild space with trees, wetlands, wildlife, forts and adventures, where Heidi experienced the best times of her life. Years of toil, degrees and careers, but always “down the back of the hill” beckoned. In 2023 as development closed in and planners marked the land for development, Heidi partnered with a team of women to revive the farm and save the land. Today, Red Mark Farm is a sustainable, regenerative farm operated by women who nurture the land, and teach and inspire the next generation. Red Mark Farm - We Claim this as Our Own!
