Our farm specializes in creating custom willow-based products for landscape architecture, including woven screens, huts, wedding arches, and decorative sculptures. We integrate sustainable practices by using willow as a renewable resource, combining biodynamic farming principles with scientific expertise to harmonize ecological conservation and productivity. Our work supports regenerative agriculture through carbon sequestration, soil health improvement, and habitat restoration. With over 150 willow varieties grown on our 40-acre Pescadero, California property, we supply high-end residential and commercial projects nationwide.Our team has perfected traditional wattle fencing techniques adapted for modern design needs, offering fire-retardant treatments and steel-reinforced structures to meet regulatory standards. We maintain a closed-farm model focused on quality control, with all products handcrafted on-site and shipped globally. Our commitment to environmental stewardship is demonstrated through livestock integration, coppicing practices, and partnerships with regenerative agriculture organizations.
