Moby Dick Hotel

Our large ornamental grasses have been cut back so that they will grow back nicely after winter.  We bundled up the bamboo-like stalks with jute twine, making a decorative addition to our fence, as well as a wind break for the court yard.

As you can see here in the Chinook Observer, the peninsula was ravished by 100 mph winds recently. The Moby Dick powered down for a day, but survived with just a few nicks and scratches. We lost a few trees and suffered some damage to our yurt.

We’re gearing up for winter in our garden. Garlic shoots have sprouted! We’re taking some inspiration from this article in Maine Today about winter farming in Portland, ME.

We always strive to serve the best quality food, featuring produce from our

organic garden,as well as regionally produced foods whenever possible.

All meats are of highest quality – grass fed, free range, or wild caught.

Most of our food is made in house from scratch.

We took our message on t-shirts to the Washington Toxics Coalition Annual Auction. Our goal here is to demand labeling for anyone who applies for an NPDES permit, allowing them to spray herbicides on water. These permits are free through the Department of Agriculture, but must be paid for otherwise.

“STOP EATING WILLAPA BAY OYSTERS. Thanks to WSDA, WDFW, WA State Dept. of Ecology, the Nature Conservancy, and all members of PCSGA which include: Taylor Shellfish, Northern Oyster, Coast Seafoods, and Seattle Shellfish for aligning themselves with Monsanto in the destruction of Willapa Bay with no regard for its native inhabitants such as: green sturgeon, salmon, Dungeness crab, and all invertebrates that feed the shorebirds.  We were upset with China’s poisoned toys, but don’t demand labeling of shellfish exposed to pesticides such as: Imazapyr, Glyphosate, Carbaryl, and other unknown inert ingredients.”
Thank you t-shirt wearers: David Ortman, Elizabeth Boyle, and Keith

In test results below, yellow highlights (first two results) show samples taken before spraying and orange and green highlights (last two results) are samples after spraying on bay. Test results show a Glyphosate level of 1.0 ppm and Imazapyr level of 9.3 ppb as of 8/11/2009. This is only a section of more extensive testing that we’ve had done. EPA allows 3.0 ppm of Glyphosate in shellfish to be consumed by the public, but only 0.25 ppm in fish, and other agriculture products range from 0.05 to 1.0 ppm. Imazapyr tolerance is 0.10 ppm in shellfish, ten times that of milk (0.01 ppm), although in fish a tolerance of 1.0 ppm is allowed, much higher than most any other consumable product. 

If you knew what was in the water that the oysters in willapa are retaining while they filter you would not eat them.

Rodeo, roundup and sevin are applied regularly to the so called pristine bay.  Maybe you should check the facts before eating an oyser from Willapa Bay.

Willapa bay is not pristine anymore.

The only state that allows poisons directly on and by oyster beds.

Why should anyone eat them and feel safe

I will not eat them because we had them tested and WOW!!!! Who would eat them

I think that after all the national press we received about the poisons the big industry is pouring into the bay that no one would eat the oysters from willapa bay until the major companies ban the use of the poisons they use that gather in the oysters.

I would like to say that after our court case hit papers in every state when the A.P. picked up the story that there is a true story and then there is the one that our county wants to use.If you want the truth about the 100,000 pages of discovery that I paid for and you want to know where 24 million dollars went and how private parties were paid and how the poisons destroyed all the natural catch except mine where we are poison free you might understand why Willapa bay has become the most toxic in the U.S. You can throw oysters in a garbage dump and add salt water and they will filter everything and live but would you eat it? That is why I would ask you what would you eat first? An oyster from a dump or an oyster from a place where they are heavily exposed to poison, and eat it,but they still live until you consume what ever is in them?You do wash your vegtables right? How to you clean an oyster that can not get rid of a surfactant.Remember they never tell you it is mostly glyphosate or rodeo or roundup which ever name they hide behind
