-- Ed and Bessie Wilson
We give credit for all of our success to Bessie and Ed.  They were artists as well as growers. Their vision and hard work made everything we do possible. Ed and Bessie Wilson were peach and apricot growers in Reedly, California before coming back to Oregon to build their family.   They then passed the torch to their son Howard and his bride, Ellen.

-- Ellen and Howard Wilson
Howard and Ellen have raised everything imaginable on this farm; flowers, vegetables, fruit and a myriad of animals on our farm. After the Columbus Day Storm of 1962 damaged the barn, they dispatched with the animals and built a strong reputation in the community for the prettiest springtime flowers and the sweetest summer corn.

-- Sarah Danforth 
One of Ellen & Howard's grandchildren and the owner of The Art Farm. Sarah is responsible for the development of the business as well as many of the operational aspects. She chooses the varieties to grow, designs the gardens and sells most of the produce. To raise funds Sarah also performs locally as a folk/blues singer. Barnraising CD
