For over 60 years the Schilters
have farmed in the Nisqually Valley. Grandpa and
Grandma Schilter immigrated from Switzerland and
began dairy farming, as well as raising a family.
One of their sons, Fred, met and married Patty Deck,
whose family farmed across the freeway on what is
now known as Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. Fred and
Patty began farming the dairy and raised a wonderful
family. Of their five children, Jeff began working
on the dairy hand-in-hand with his parents. He
married Stephanie Herness and they began a family of
their own. The family eventually phased out the
dairy and took on a new venture – raising fresh
vegetables and fruit.
Dedication and hard work have
always been part of the Schilter family’s history.
We are pleased to continue this dedication in
providing the highest quality produce and family
entertainment to all that visit our farm. |
