New owners at The Farm

The Farm, 1701 Sequim-Dungeness Way, announced last week it will be under new ownership. The Byrne Family — Jenna, Justin, Nora and Teagan — will be taking over operations on or near Friday, Dec. 17.

Jenna and Justin are familiar with the Northwest, having worked 10 years for Boeing. They’ve spent the past five years traveling, gaining experience and knowledge on other farms, and starting their own business.

The family plans to keep The Farm’s chickens and have plans to expand operations.
