The Land

Minterbrook stewards hundreds of acres of pristine, productive, and breathtakingly scenic waterfront tidelands in the Pacific Northwest — spanning productive shellfish grounds, protected wildlife tidelands, and upland acreage intentionally preserved in its natural state. Across two distinct bays, Minter Bay and Rocky Bay, this is a rare and remarkable concentration of environmentally rich land on Puget Sound.

Two Distinct Waters

The Bays

Rocky Bay

A second, distinct growing environment that expands both the volume and the variety of what Minterbrook can produce across the seasons.

Minter Bay

Unique to Puget Sound — a protected estuary fed by a large freshwater stream through a narrow outlet. This geography creates ideal conditions for raising extraordinarily sweet, clean shellfish.

Life on the Water

A Living Refuge

Wildlife on the Property

Home to bald eagles, salmon, harbor seals, and river otters year-round, and a sanctuary for visiting orcas, black bears, and sea lions, the Minterbrook property is as much a wildlife refuge as it is a working farm.
