We are Green Bow Farm.
Matthew Cox and Christina Miller started Green Bow Farm in 2011 with the desire to raise animals on pasture humanely and in doing so raise delicious food for friends and family. Their dream of a small family farmstead quickly turned into something they wanted to do full time as they saw the land they were trying to rehabilitate transform over just one season. With the help of managed grazing, diverse livestock, and more precise irrigation methods the land transformed from dormant weed-filled fields to lush grass pastures that were able to sustain larger herds and flocks each season.
The name Green Bow came from our first farm in Kittitas Valley where their young sons were tasked with naming the new farm. We arrived in the windy spring season with pastures filled with dried up horse manure and they decided it should be called the Windy Poopy farm. After some family debate, we decided to take another shot at naming the farm and our oldest who was 4 wanted to name it the Green Farm because of the green house and green pastures, and our 2 year old was still sticking to Windy Poopy farm, so we decided to add the word Bow to give a nod to his middle name Archer.
A Green Bow in Archery is something that represented our families new life farming, and trying to remain adaptable and strong in the challenges we knew were ahead of us as we learned to farm.
