HOMER SMITH INSURANCE

The Port Townsend & Jeff erson County Leader • THE LOCAL • October 2011 • 3

With a total of 9 acres of pro-duction – most of which sits in historic Happy Valley – the farm produces certified organic veg-etables, from patty pan squash to peppers, leeks and beets, all (and more) of which is available year around in an old garage-turned-farm-stand out front.

“Being in the city, it’s really a great thing to be able to open this place up to the community,” he said.

The farm stand operates on

the honor system. Equipped with a hanging scale, oversized calculator and a well-secured payment drop box, the produce-filled room remains unmanned and open at all hours.

Originally operated as a fruit stand and flower shop in the early 1990s by Elizabeth Crockett, the stand had trouble making ends meet. Crockett employed a full-time salesperson to operate the stand until it was converted to a community sup-

ported agriculture (CSA) pickup spot, which it remained for 12 years.

“With the CSA not working and us paying a high price to employ someone to work there, we decided to create an honor system,” said Hopkins.

When Hopkins came on board, the stand had been dor-mant for a couple of years. By August 2008, he and land owner John Gunning had begun fill-ing it with fresh produce, and a handful of area residents began patronizing the unstaffed stand.

“We’ve got a dedicated group of people that come in, but we haven’t tapped into nearly any of the population of Port Townsend,” he said. “People still don’t know it’s there.”

For the past four years,

colinwood Farm honor system keeps

on its feet

the Colinwood Farm stand, at 1219 F St., is open all hours year-round and operates on the honor system. Pick out your produce, weigh it, calculate the cost and drop your cash in the honor box.

For Jesse Hopkins, trust is everything.“The new wave is knowing your farmer,” said

Hopkins, who for four years has managed the 22-year-old Colinwood Farm at the bottom of F Street in Port Townsend.

“We’re a direct-to-consumer farm.”

Story & photos by Nicholas Johnson of the Leader

When the housing market crashed, so did the construction

industry.For Little & Little

Construction, one of the old-est building firms in Port Townsend and Jefferson County, survival has meant a shift in business strategy and service area.

Now, after a few tough years, Bob Little says his 32-year-old company is mak-ing a comeback – albeit a slow

one.“Nobody had any idea it

was going to run as deep or as long as it has,” Little said of what nationally is being called the Great Recession. “We’ll move forward slowly as every-thing builds back up, but we may never see the levels we saw some years ago for many years, if ever.”

The local construction industry was booming from the mid-1990s through 2005. At the peak, Little & Little had 20 field employees split into four or five teams. The company found work easily and often turned away smaller

projects. It averaged four to five full-size, single-family housing projects a year, along with various commercial and government jobs. Work came so easily, Little said, that he and his staff were able to pick and choose.

“There were years when all of our work was in Port Townsend, almost exclusively,” said Alex Little, Bob’s son who has worked as a project man-ager for his father’s company since graduating from college in 1999.

ThE cRAshJefferson County’s booming

real estate economy peaked in August 2006 in terms of sales and sale price. Construction-related businesses (builders, landscaping, architects, floor-

projects. It averaged four to Little & Little on the rise after construction slowdown

DOWN but notOuTLittle & Little Construction has been in business here for 32 years, building custom homes, commercial buildings and now, a houseboat destined for Seattle’s Lake Union.

Gardens at Four Corners Gary and Patti created the Gardens at Four Corners 16 years ago, and their love for this area and the community only grows. They’ve learned that this is “dream coun-try” for gardening if the challenges of soil, water (and deer!) are first conquered; so it’s their goal to educate for success with helpful and knowledgeable staff and carry

quality, reasonably priced soils, mulches and healthy plants (includ-ing larger trees). People say they buy their plants here “because they live!” So, why travel out of the county when you can enjoy all of this on 21⁄2 acres, browsing the wonderful gardens at “Four Corners?!” Locally owned since 1995.

Hopkins said, the farm’s focus has been on securing booths at various farmers markets around northwest Washington. He said the farm now does business at six mar-kets a week for as long they run.

“We’ve been through a four-year period of establishing our-selves at farmers markets,” he said. “We’re there. We’re in, and now we can start focusing on the farm stand.”

Hopkins said the stand brings in about $20,000 a year, which is just short of breaking even. He said the stand, as opposed to markets and wholesale, has the most potential for profit. In fact, since he’s been on board, the farm has completely shifted away from wholesale accounts, which at one time comprised as much as 60 percent of sales.

“We’re such a small farm that we wanted to maximize what we could get out of our yield,” he said. “We’re trying to simplify to make money. Coordinating 10 to 12 small accounts and five farm-ers markets on a weekly basis is a lot more work and brings in less money. We don’t have the volume to be an effective whole-saler.”

However, Hopkins said, profit isn’t the goal. Rather, the goal is a financially sustainable farm,

which both he and Gunning agree comes from a well-paid core of farmhands, who earn $13 an hour.

“In the past, we’ve paid people $8 or $9 an hour and they just don’t stay,” he said. “We don’t have to make a huge profit for it to work here. We’re never going

ing, appliances, car-pet cleaning, interior decorating, etc.) began feeling a change by late 2007, and the bot-tom fell out nationally in the fall of 2008. The housing market here is still weak in 2011 as property values drop and sales struggle to match 2010 levels, which were only slight-ly better than 2009.

As homeowners

found their financial nest eggs withering away, the Littles began noticing customers backing away from pre-viously planned jobs.

“We had a number of projects slated to start that people had to delay or cancel when things crashed hard,” Alex said. “It created a hole we knew we need-ed to fill, and we knew the big projects just weren’t happening.”

However, the

financial impact to the company didn’t become apparent until late 2009, after many long-term projects had wrapped up.

First came major reductions in both office and field staff,

with the company’s 20-person roster of field staff being cut to four. As contracts for new homes dried up, the company shifted its focus with a campaign declaring, “We do pint-

POTTERY: Studio opening on Water StreetSome chefs, such as

Arran Stark, say it is the beauty of the basic red terra cotta pottery that attracts them. Stark was so taken with the Huffmans’ pot-tery that he requested special ramekins for his crème brulée. Coffee roaster Michael LeDonna says it is the flavor the pottery imparts that drew him. He did a blind taste test at Better Living Through Coffee, and people said they could taste the difference between coffee that dripped through the

pretty pottery filters and coffee that dripped through plastic filters.

Whether it’s the look or the enhanced flavor it seems to give food, by catering to the desires and needs of local businesses, the Huffmans’ pottery has been spinning off the wheel. It’s to the point where the couple is having trouble keep-ing up with demand and is expanding the business to a new stu-dio in downtown Port Townsend.

The studio, to be located at 820 Water St., No. 1, in down-town Port Townsend,

will be dubbed Daily Bird Pottery. It’s set to open in time for the November Gallery Walk.

“It should be beauti-ful and easy to take care of,” said Phoebe of their pottery, which has been known for several years now as “naked pottery,” because it’s not glazed.

“It’s art. It’s for daily use,” said Darby of the pottery, which the two use –and put to the test – daily.

A TAsTE TEsTA tour of their home

studio one summer day included a taste of din-ner made in two large bowls that they also happened to be testing.

Not surprisingly, there was local food in that locally made pot-tery. Purple potatoes from Colinwood Farm teamed up with pork, carrots, mushrooms, leeks and onions,

to make huge profit, because it’s not a family-run farm.”

Hopkins said selling produce directly to the consumer on the basis of trust makes the most business sense – the farm gets a larger piece of the profits, and the consumer gets the freshest possible produce.

“A lot of the reason we haven’t started advertis-ing is because we are still growing as a farm,” he said. “We’ve brought on a lot of farmers markets and haven’t been able to fully stock the farm stand. We wanted to wait until this point when we are able to understand our production levels well

enough that we can fully stock the farm stand.”While the stand overflows with a diverse

selection of vegetables and flowers from June to October, Hopkins said, during the off months of November to May he buys vegetables, coffee and jam from other local farmers and producers while purchasing fruit from eastern Washington. Either way, he said, consumers can trust it’s all organic.

“As bigger organic farms come on line, I hope the people’s trust in small, local organic farms doesn’t get watered down,” he said. “The word ‘organic’ is going to become less and less impor-tant; it’ll be the name of the farmer you’re buying your produce from. Do you trust somebody in Washington [D.C.] telling you what’s safe or do you trust the farmers in your community to bring you safe food?”

Hopkins said the farm works with various programs in the Port Townsend School District, allowing OPEPO students to plant and harvest potatoes, and Mar Vista High School students to keep beehives. Some children haven’t yet accepted the farm stand’s honor system, though.

“The majority of people are good, trustworthy people,” he said. “Our biggest trouble has been 15- and 16-year-old kids trying to get into our money box.”

Hopkins said Gunning sometimes visits classes at Grant Street Elementary to teach them about the honor system at the stand, which he said some have come to know as the free store. But even that hasn’t convinced Hopkins to staff the stand, large-ly because the cost of employing someone always costs more than losing some produce to theft.

Both Hopkins and Gunning know how much Colinwood Farm would be worth if it were divided and sold for development, but Hopkins said the community benefits more if he can keep it finan-cially sustainable.

“It’s amazing this amount of land is being used for cultivation in the city,” he said. “I want to keep it a farm as long as I can. I really want to see this place remain a viable farm for the future

Darby Huffman says it took him years of practice and now only a few minutes of patience to throw a piece of pottery. it took him only a few minutes to turn a chunk of red clay into a bell.

all steamed in the oven after the pork was browned on the stovetop.

Because the pot-tery is fired to 2,053 degrees, Darby knew the bowls could be used in ovens and microwaves, and be safe for the dishwash-er. But he wanted to test a pot for stovetop cooking. Using a dif-fuser on an electric burner, he browned some pork in one of the pots. It worked; the pottery didn’t break.

So after browning the pork, he put a few sprigs of herbs in the pot and added the veg-etables.

“[The pottery] keeps the flavor, so we have to be careful not to overspice,” Phoebe said.

GALLERY WALkIt seems as though

a lot of things the Huffmans do is by trial and error – and a healthy helping of curi-osity.

The conversation about whether their pottery enhances fla-vor, for example, all started with a disagree-ment over the quality of a glass of wine and a follow-up taste test dur-ing Galley Walk.

“I had made the stem for a goblet, so

we went to toast this new goblet. [Darby] grabbed one of his lit-tle cups. We poured the wine, and I said, ‘This

is terrible wine.’ I was drinking out of glass. He liked the wine, and I didn’t. I tasted out of his cup, and his was

good. So we went ‘oh-oh,’” said Phoebe.

Darby made some

small single-serving wine-tasting cups and started doing taste-tests during Gallery Walk at the Port Townsend Gallery, where the Huffmans’ work has been for sale for the last few years.

Out of more than 400 people who have

tasted the same wine in a plastic cup and in a pottery cup, 95 percent think the wine in the “naked pottery” cup is better, said Darby.

“A majority like the wine in our cups and we serve cheap wine,” said Darby. “It softens whatever is in it.”

Some people even bring back those little

wine-tasting cups on Galley Walk nights – going from gallery to gallery for sips of what-ever is being served.

“Coffee, wine, beer, tea, sake, Scotch, orange juice, hot chocolate,” said Darby. “If there’s a bitterness, it cuts the bitterness. Isn’t that weird?”

“We keep trying to

figure out why,” said Phoebe.

Darby told of one scientist who stopped by the Huffmans’ booth at the farmers market in Bothell and insisted he knew the secret to the taste mystery. He said it had to do with negatively charged ions.

POTTERY: ‘Coffee, wine, beer’ all taste better


sized projects, too!”“People saw us as

only doing big projects, so they wouldn’t call us for small stuff,” Alex said. “We really needed to shift the perception.”

WEAThERInG ThE sTORMThe company began

picking up myriad remodels, renovations and retrofits, often accepting jobs that required a half-hour or more of travel time.

“During the 2000s, which was the hey-day in the industry, we were able to be really selective about the projects we took on,” Alex said. “It was amazing how often our projects were within a 10- or 15-minute drive from the office. Now, it’s become easier and more necessary to manage projects farther out of town. We’ve tackled proj-ects in Port Angeles, Sequim, Quilcene, Ludlow, Neah Bay and Poulsbo.”

Beyond accepting jobs farther from home and embarking on a multitude of remodels, retrofits and add-ons, the company opened up to the smaller-project needs of local customers, such as seismic retrofits, home

inspection repairs as well as weatherization and energy upgrades.

“We cater to every bit of local work that exists,” Alex said, including follow-up work with previous clients.

“One of the keys to our success these last two years has been a lot of specialty and remodel work for past customers,” said Alex, including a houseboat.

EvEn A hOusEbOATFor the past six

months, the company has been construct-ing in the Port of Port Townsend shipyard a 30-by-40-square-foot house, which sits on a 6-foot-high concrete platform filled with foam. Bob said the cli-ent, who already owns a houseboat on Lake Union, decided it was time for an upgrade to accommodate a grow-ing family.

“It’s a very lim-ited market,” said Bob Little, who added that nearly all houseboat projects consist of upgrades or replace-ments, rather than new development. “The thing that we do differ-ently from anyone else is that we do the float and the house.”

Though the company doesn’t have another

houseboat project lined up, Alex said, that sin-gle project represents between 20 and 30 per-cent of its annual work-load. He said the com-pany plans to launch and tow the houseboat to its permanent home in January 2012.

On ThE uPsWInGFinancially, 2010

proved the tough-est year, though Bob said work has slowly picked up since spring of this year. His field staff is up to 10 people – about half its pre-crash peak.

“We’ve had to regroup our company to work at a whole dif-ferent sales volume,” Bob said. “We’ve done that and we feel good about it.”

He said that although the company is now more tuned in to projects coming out of Seattle and Tacoma than ever before, it still caters to local custom-ers and their needs.

“One thing that’s helped us is that we have a lot of loyal customers,” Bob said. “We’ve done a lot of small projects for long-term customers.”

Government projects have gone from about 5 percent of the com-pany’s annual workload to about 10 percent, and Bob said the com-pany is bidding more of those local govern-ment jobs.

“We’ve always done projects for the city and the county,” Bob said. “We’re bidding more of them today.”

In the past couple of months, the company hired Jody Maberry as a third project man-ager. Full-size housing projects average out at about two per year so far, meaning the company continues to depend on small proj-ects.

Bob said, “There’s probably not a job today that we would turn down.”

POTTERY: Huffmans’ functional art sells well ▼Continued from page 24

Phoebe Huffman sculpts a bird to be used on a bell that Darby throws by hand. She and her husband Darby have had a studio in their home, but are expanding to 820 Water St., No. 1, in November in time to open for Gallery Walk weekend.


“I know why your cups do this,” Darby recalled the man insist-ing. “If you look inside your little cup with a magnifying glass, it’s a big mountain range. You pour your wine in there, and all the posi-tive ions are sticking to the little bumps, and you’re drinking nega-tively charged ions, and that’s why your wine tastes better.”

Oddly, negatively charged air – like that you would breathe in while standing near a waterfall or the ocean – reputedly gives people a sense of well being.

LOcAL FLAvORWhat’s giving the

Huffmans a sense of financial well-being is watching their busi-ness expand.

“Right now, art isn’t selling as well as it used to, but we are,” said Phoebe of the functional art.

In fact, even Gov. Christine Gregoire left Port Townsend with one of their bells recently.

The Huffmans have made bean pots and pepper pots for a Brazilian restaurant,

and casserole pots for a Greek restaurant, both of the eateries in Ballard, as well as

water and wine carafes for a Vashon Island

farm and restaurant.They’ve created ste-

ampunk mugs with just a little touch of glaze that makes the cup look like it has rivets down one side.

And they’ve also made a habit out of helping businesses showcase their prod-ucts. Many of those businesses were con-nected to the Huffmans at the Port Townsend Farmers Market.

Mt. Townsend Creamery asked for cheese dishes that it could bake Brie in. Phoebe added a little mouse to the top of the dome.

Harmony Soaps wanted a soap dish. Midori Farm wants crocks for kimchi, and Green Gables Gardens wants vases. Phocus Farms of Sequim has requested planters for sedums.

Now, Daddy’s Muesli, a growing Port Townsend busi-ness owned by Sheryl Morgenstern and Tim Lambert, wants mama bear, papa bear and baby bear bowls to sell with their breakfast cereal, which they also sell at several farmers markets.

The Huffmans’ naked high-fired pot-tery also has solved a problem for one Port

Townsend restaurant.The Banana Leaf,

which features Thai food, brought back dishes from Thailand to contain a signature dish of mussels and scallops that is baked and then served at the table. But the dishes from Thailand were so porous, the county health depart-ment wouldn’t approve them for use because they couldn’t go into the dishwasher, said Darby.

The plate that Darby created, with its seven little lids, works for the presentation, and all of its pieces can go into the dishwasher.

Although Better Living Through Coffee owner Michael LeDonna says he’s not sure about the taste difference himself and still uses stainless steel filters, he didn’t want to use plastic filters. So he asked the Huffmans if they could make a coffee filter just for his coffee.

“The people I trust with good palates, people like my daugh-ter Sadie [LeDonna], she has a younger palate, and I trust her, say they can taste the difference. Besides, it’s local,” added LeDonna, noting that if people ask about the filters at his stand at the market, he has them shuffle

down the street to the Huffmans’ booth.

“We get about two people a week who buy coffee filters from us because of that,” admitted Darby. “We made [coffee filters] and traded them cof-fee for them, which we thought was a good deal.”

Trading pottery for food also has been good for the Huffmans’ pantry and freezer.

“Last week, I traded for blueberries. I trad-ed two wine cups for a flat of blueberries. And from the other blue-berry lady, because I like her, too, she wanted one of my big cookers for a chicken, so I may get 12 flats of blueberries for that,” said Darby.

“We’ve traded for honey, jam, apple pie, bread,” he said.

It turns out farmers like pots, so they’ve traded pots for veg-etables with Colinwood Farm. And one farmer traded a goat roast for pottery.

FEEdInG ThE sOuLAlthough Darby

started a career as a

potter years ago, he gave it up after the birth of his second child, and the couple concluded they needed to earn more money to make ends meet. He’s had several careers, including carpentry and sales, most recent-ly selling cabinets. When the real estate market crashed and people stopped buying cabinets, Phoebe made a suggestion.

“You make really cool stuff, and I’d really love to work with you,” Phoebe told him, reminding him of his pottery past.

“This feeds my soul,” Darby said while sit-ting at a pottery wheel, making bowls and bells, pots and dishes of all sizes and shapes.

A few feet from him, Phoebe worked on sculpting a bird that will go on top of the bell. “Every time I sit down and make a bird, it’s a moment of medi-tation,” she said.

So the two are feed-ing their passion for creating art – and dressing up local busi-nesses with their tailor-made pottery.
