History

Established in 1980.

The Willow Farm has found its niche by creating a farm that works in conjunction with nature. Farm animals play an integral part in the production of food for the human component as well as fertilizer for the ground. They are set loose amongst the willows in winter to eat the weeds and in spring to strip the leaves from the stems, a job that would otherwise be done by employees who are far more valuable in the design and production use of the stripped canes. This constant courtship of nature in relationship with modern business approach is necessary in securing and protecting this ongoing lifestyle. A focus that the Curry’s continue to endeavor to bring to a larger audience. They are proving that renewable resources combined with carefully honed practical business applications can be utilized on a creative level. They hope to continually inspire their clientele to a partnership with nature and use The Willow Farm products to create a natural relationship with places and spaces.

Meet the Business Owner

Neil C.

Business Owner

Neil and Alix Curry, emigrated from Australia twenty years ago. Early in their marriage, this husband and wife team practiced their knowledge in biodynamic and permiculutre on their blueberry farm in Australia, concentrating on enhancing blueberry production through the use of willows as windbreaks. They moved to America and soon after purchasing their farm in Pescadero in the 1994 they designed farm activities around living in harmony with their surroundings. The Willow Farm is the culmination of a business vision driven by the desire to be profitable without compromising ecologically sound farming practices. Using time-​honored farming practices combined with a strong background in the sciences, Neil and Alix have turned their forty acre farm into an agricultural jewel with several businesses that work in relationship with each other as well as the environment.
