My name is Nayab Khan. My wife, Henna, and I purchased this farm in 2002 when our daughters were just 2 and 4 years old. At the time, we were balancing the farm with our other professions, which is why we focused exclusively on blueberries—something we could care for and manage alongside our work. As time goes on, we hope to gradually expand into other crops as the plants mature and our time allows.

My interest in blueberry farming began quite unexpectedly during a camping trip to Mount Baker. On the way, we stopped at a U-Pick farm near Concrete. The owners were a couple in their late 90s, and I was deeply inspired to see the husband still actively caring for their five-acre farm. Their energy, longevity, and connection to the land left a lasting impression on us.

My wife and I immediately fell in love with the idea of a blueberry farm. What started as occasional visits quickly became a summer tradition. We began driving over 100 miles each week just to pick blueberries. Our family of four would pick and eat over 20 pounds of fresh berries each week, often filling both our refrigerator and freezer. Eventually, we started picking extra to donate through my workplace United Way campaigns.

For us, blueberry picking has always been more than just farming — it is peaceful, grounding, and deeply enjoyable. There is something special about early mornings or late afternoons spent in the fields, surrounded by nature and fresh berries.

Since then, our family has grown — we now have two boys as well, and our children have become a big part of life on the farm. There is something truly special about working the land together as a family, and we hope that spirit comes through when you visit us.
