HISTORY OF THE FAKKEMA FARM

The farm was built in 1919 by James Griffith, a successful Seattle businessman, for a side business and summer home. James Griffith incorporated the farm in 1921. Ryan and Jane Fakkema immigrated from Holland in 1950 and were sponsored by their cousins Harry and Ann. Originally the farm was a crop farm, but Ryan became farm manager and turned it into a dairy farm. The farm grew and sold milk to Darigold under the management of Ryan and his two sons Dick and Hap. After years of hard work and fluctuating milk prices, Dick and Hap decided to sell the cows and equipment around the turn of the century. After that, the crop fields were leased to local farmers and the brothers raised a few Wagyu beef cows for family meat. In 2015, Dick's son Cory proposed they look into the environ-mentally friendly and economically viable farming methods of Joel Salatin and Polyface Farms. It was then that Beach View Farm began regenerative pasture techniques. We currently have a herd of Wagyu beef, Katahdin sheep, Mangalitsa and Berkshire pigs, the best egg-laying chickens in the universe, and raise turkeys and meat chickens seasonally. Eventually Harry & Ann Fakkema purchased the farm, who in turn, sold it to Ryan & Jane Fakkema in 1961.

In a final note, the oldest barn and three houses were built with ballast stones brought in ships from France. The barn was registered with the Historical society.
