Teva Youngblood

Teva and Barry, both combat veterans, have owned and operated Twisted Holly Reindeer Ranch in Rochester, WA since 2017. Looking for something different in the farming industry, they decided on Reindeers.

In working with community partners to create a local, community-based food network, it became clear that a market at Grand Mound would be essential to the infrastructure of the bigger network. Food sovereignty is essential to our community by making local foods accessible to vulnerable families.
