Saltwater Farm was born out of a dream…
to combine Merriss’ love of animals and wide-open spaces with Andrew’s passion for connecting with people and learning their stories. They share a devotion to bringing friends and family together and they both absolutely love weddings!
Originally, they were thinking of something small… just a few acres outside of Seattle for Merriss’s garden & goats, Andrew’s therapy retreats, and a couple of weddings each year. But, on their 2nd anniversary in 2016 during a bike trip on San Juan Island, they realized that this island had everything they were looking for! They started searching and came across this property. It was vacant land except for the shop and the old animal barn, but they knew as soon as they set foot on it that it was perfect. Much larger than they were looking for, but perfect! Not only would they be able to build their dream, they would be able to do it sustainably and could even accomplish their longer-term goal of purchasing and preserving a large piece of land as natural habitat.
