About

Robinwood is an idyllic 40 acres tucked away in the secluded yet expansive privacy of the a northern Vancouver Island river valley woodland, along the Salmon River. In the middle of the property there is a meadow, which has a deep and rich soil base from years and years of floods. Around the meadow is a forest thick with giant Sitka Spruce, Western Hemlock, Red Cedar, Alder, Cottonwood, Maples, and Balsam Fir. There are meandering patches of sunny spots, openness, and light within the trees. There is a network of paths that lead through groves of blackberries, salmonberries, maples, alder, and mossy conifers.

Named for the enormous flocks of robins that descend and reside here for the spring and summer, filling the meadow and forests around with the cheerful and hopeful sounds of robin song. Every morning as the light breaks, there is a welcoming morning cacophony of song birds abound.

We are growing food, herbs, and medicine, foraging the woods, and replenishing the world with goodness derived from healthy and abundant river valley soil, and clean forest air. Off the grid, and in the wild.

Robinwood Farm is owned and operated by Rachel and Byron, loyal dogs Duggy and Elly May, and their son Arrowynn, sent down from the stars above.
