Kaukiki Farm

Nestled on the Key Peninsula in Longbranch, Washington, Kaukiki Farm is a stop on this year’s Key Peninsula Farm Tour, open on Saturday, September 27th. The 150-acre farm traces its roots to the early 20th century, when the Rickert family—German immigrants who first settled in Wisconsin—arrived in 1902 with their six sons, drawn by the promise of abundant timber and fertile land on the forested peninsula. The Rickerts cleared the dense old-growth forest to establish their homestead, using crosscut saws that left distinctive sawbuck marks on the massive stumps—some of which still stand in the farm’s pond today, showing the labor that turned wilderness into fields. Purchased in 2007 by owners Warwick and Janice Bryant to give their sons a childhood like their own—Warwick on a New Zealand sheep station and Janice on an Iowa farm—the name “Kaukiki,” pronounced cow-ki-kee, comes from the tallest hill on Warwick’s childhood farm in New Zealand.

The farm raises grass fed and finished, Angus cross cattle and Hampshire cross sheep for lamb sustainably with hay produced on site. Supplemental feeds are carefully screened to avoid things like soy, feather dust, and antibiotics.

As part of the Farm Tour, Kaukiki invites visitors to see this mix of agriculture and conservation, including the farm’s sheep, cattle, and resident llama, along with neighboring farms sharing products, plans and build awareness of local agriculture.

Featured Artist: CJ Wool Creations

Welcome to CJ Wool Creations, Formally Kyrgyzkonnection. For the past 12 years we have been creating one-of-a-kind wool hats, scarves, clothing and other wearable art inspired by many unique cultures. We believe wool has a certain magic to it, and we would love to share that with you.

Inspired by the traditional wares of many European countries, Asia and our own USA we have taken those ideas and expanded upon them in unique and artistic directions. We love experimenting and creating one of a kind art pieces that you can wear from hats and scarves, to shawls, jackets and wall art. Drawing from a variety of cultures that inspire us, our clothing has accents of Celtic symbols, petroglyphs as well as traditional designs.

First we obtain only the finest wool from local farmers, fiber shows. We clean, dye and felt our wool. Then we add silk, bamboo and other wools as embellishments for that extra flair. This handmade approach not only makes our wool creations the most comfortable you will ever wear, but will last a lifetime.
