In 2005, married partners Chrissie and Koorosh Zaerpoor founded Kookoolan Farms, with the goal of producing the most nutrient dense and delicious foods in the most sustainable manner possible.  Organic grass fed beef?  Kookoolan Farms does not pay to be certified organic, partly because our practices go above and beyond.  We invite you to learn about our practices and decide for yourself whether we meet YOUR definition of "organic."

 

We are passionate about regenerative farming practices that literally pull carbon dioxide out of the air and put it back into the soil. We are passionate about caring and ethical treatment of our farm animals from their first day to their last, and providing them with a natural, pasture-based diet and lifestyle.  We are passionate about renewable energy: ALL the electricity used on our farm comes from our on-farm solar array.  We are passionate about reducing landfill waste: ALL our garbage, for our house, our business, and our Airbnb cottage, fits in a single small garbage container every week.

2020 seems to be the year the world is waking up to the idea that it's always smart to have a freezer full of food to be prepared for the unexpected!

Updated December 16, 2020:  Our farmstore is

open daily 9am to 5pm.  Please call ahead to make an appointment for your FIRST visit.  After that you are welcome to shop at your pleasure.  Cash or Check only, no credit or debit cards.  We have about ten to fifteen customers a day, and most of what we sell is pre-reserved.  This means other people don't handle your stuff before you buy it, unlike mainstream groceries.  We have a bottle of hand sanitizer just inside the door, as we have had every day for the past 15 years.  YES we are open for business!

NO farmer's markets.  No commercial accounts. We don't have slick high-tech online ordering.  We're an old-fashioned farm offering you an old-fashioned relationship with your food and your farmer.
