Native Plants / Food Forest

Natembea is a cooperative farm project located on a 97-acre expanse of pasture, woods, and wetlands at the edge of Port Townsend, Washington. The farm was purchased by Devon and David Pablo Cohn in 2016 with the mission of preserving the land for community benefit while honoring its history as a family farm. Natembea practices sustainable agriculture, relying on interlocking resources and minimizing off-farm inputs, with no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers applied. The farm is significant for its agricultural importance and is part of efforts to protect working farmland in the region.

Far Reaches Farm is a rare plant specialty nursery in Port Townsend, Washington with thousands of plant taxa represented in our collection!  We make our extraordinary plants available to everyone in the US through our mail order nursery. The pandemic has greatly impacted our staffing levels and negatively influenced the local labor force as well. We can’t see being able to reopen for onsite shopping here anytime in the foreseeable future. Fortunately mail order has been very good. For those of you who miss walking around the gardens, members of the Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy are welcome to visit by appointment, and those picking up orders in person are welcome as well please just let us know in advance!

A good alternative to gas-powered vehicles is biking.
