EUTOPOS
is Greek for "The Good Place"

40 Acres on the Toandos Peninsula in Coyle, Washington with Nature's bees and hummingbirds help too!

Eutopos Farm and Gardens rests on the slopes above Fisherman Harbor in quiet Coyle, Washington. On lucky 7/7/07 we saved these beautiful 40 acres from development, preserving a complex wildlife habitat hosting deer, osprey, great blue heron, black bear, fox, coyote; Lake Napen is home to cedar waxwings, ducks, geese, swifts, dragonflies, and the loudest bullfrog chorus ever. To our delight we foun

d an embarrassment of huckleberry riches throughout the woodlands. We harvest & sort each tiny berry by hand for a premium grade of intense flavor, keeping the huckleberry tradition alive. The Eaton family foraged from these same bushes in the early 1900's to market in neighboring Quilcene. Eutopos Huckleberry Jam is becoming well known for its black purple goodness; our Red Huckleberry Jelly was given rave reviews in the March/April 2013 edibleSeattle magazine. The terroir on our western slopes and in the woodlands lends a special richness to our huckleberries. Being in the middle of Hood Canal, views of The Brothers peaks, Mount Constance and Mount Jupiter astound. The sky beckons to be watched at sunset. Visit our website for more photos -- or better yet -- call us to schedule an appointment to visit Eutopos Farm and Gardens for yourself. http://www.eutoposfarm.com 360-697-3527

Birdies Rule!

Walking the fresh frosted paths this morning, pre-dawn, we rustled out a mini flock. They wooshed away right next to my ears! Startling, stunning & soothing.

Wishing everyone a little peace this season. 🕊️

If anyone is wondering how huckleberry season is shaping up. Ummm...not great.

Seattle endures driest spring, summer in 77 years

If anyone is wondering how huckleberry season is shaping up. Ummm...not great.

Despite a pattern change in the Northwest, the unprecedented dry streak may continue for the Emerald City with less than two weeks left in summer.

To anyone who has given me "the business" about my incessant warnings regarding Wild Honeysuckle in our forests. As you can see, it's tough as hell. It's the rope that strangles ...check it out in the sunlight upper middle of this photo. Wrapped so tight ...cedar had a tough time! Wild Honeysuckle has taken down mature Alder trees on Eutopos. Chokes the huckleberry & salal. Running rampant -- my advice is remove it when you see it, or we're all gonna end up like our Southern states with their uncontrollable Kudzu problem. ~kg~

Something to be happily surprised about in 2020 🤩!

Red Huckleberry season is in full swing ...with unreal loads of (as a dear friend calls them) gumballs. Average yield on the left. Those big ones, what to do with them? I believe we'll have red huck curd & tarts. Mmmmhmmmm. 😋🥰😋

1 Osprey vs. 10 Bald Eagles. If you listen close, you can hear the rush of air as the Osprey dives over and over.

A minute of calm from your holiday bustle from us to you!

Well, that little storm was all it took to blow the Osprey's nest off the top of the snag. The 3 kids don't know what to do... just screaming about it. Maybe the remains of the nest will stay on the lower branches until spring and they can get it right next year. Now, the bigger wind storm is coming... time to hang on tight!

One minute on Lake Napen at Eutopos.

We caught this big Pileated Woodpecker in an Ocean Spray tree leaning over to a huckleberry bush and eating huckleberries. Good thing we have a couple thousand huckleberry bushes!
