Hello and welcome to In The Trough Farm, located just outside historic Astoria, Oregon.

We are so ecstatic to finally be here, reintroducing ourselves to you, under our fresh new name!  (formerly Little Blue Farm)

Our family began this crazy journey in September of 2012, when we purchased our 1927 farmhouse on almost 30 acres in coastal northwest Oregon.  We knew at the time the house and property both were going to need a lot of love, but we were no where near prepared for what was to come.  Suffice it to say, the first few years were a bit dark.  And wet.  And expensive.  But worth every moment and every cent.

Now, as we continue to grow and expand, we are excited to share our story with you.  Our hope is to connect with others who enjoy this homesteading lifestyle; to share a few laughs, swap some ideas, and remind each other that all this hard work is worth it. We are all about family, fun, farming, and making the most of what life brings along with it.  Please feel free anytime to leave a comment or send us a message.

We’d love to hear from you!
