They raise broilers and turkeys seasonally on 5 acres of land in Port Townsend, WA. Their slower-growing, pasture-raised poultry develop rich flavors and have darker meat than the standard commercial breeds. Their  birds are raised outdoors, on pasture all the days of their lives. This reduces stress and disease, ensuring a happy life and a better product for their customers. The chickens enjoy a certified organic feed from In-Season Farm in B.C. and plenty of forage from pasture, resulting in meat that is not only tastier but packed with essential vitamins and nutrients. Compared to conventional poultry, ours have better fat quality and increased levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and E, and other crucial nutrients that contribute to a healthier diet.

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.
