The Noble family homestead (A Simpler Past Homestead) is located at the end of the Newaukum Valley near Chehalis Washington. A homestead is more than a farm or a home; it is a passion to build with one’s own hands the lifestyle of a vision and through it a better world. We honor the old fashion quality of a time before overbearing industry with their chemicals and industrial machines, when every market garden was intimately known by the farmer, and every tool expertly crafted by its maker.
