Hello! I'm new here...

Good morning friends and fellow farming colleagues! My name is Joanie Firnstahl-Koorn and I live in Arlington, Wa.

I am a 3rd generational tree farm owner of two family tree farms (timber production). The first is a 40 acre farm which I co-own with my sister Teresa, The second tree farm neighbors the first and is about 300 acres, which I am a partner in an LLP with my sister and 4 uncles.

I am delighted to be a part of this community and learn more about food forests, gardening/forestry/permaculture/irrigation/sustainability. As our climate is heating up and changing, it is important to think about ways to help our earth heal and thrive. We have several acres of field/agriculture open space which currently we use for hay production. I am here to learn more about what other uses we can do on these open spaces and how to do it. I appreciate all input and am grateful to be a part of this community.
