As heard on KGMI
Lisa sat down with KGMI to talk about the farm, our Wagyu, and how this place became somewhere people can shop, stay and slow down.
About Oostema Farmstead
We moved to this farm in 2000, and over the years it has changed right along with us.
What started as our home became a working farm, a place to raise cattle, and eventually a place we decided to share with others. We began raising Wagyu in 2016, and today our herd grazes across our farm here in Lynden, Washington.
This is a real working farm. There are tractors running, cattle in the fields, chores that need doing and seasons that determine what happens next. But there’s also a lot of quiet, big open skies, mountain views and room to slow down.
Opening the farm to guests happened little by little.
Today, guests can stay in the Little Farmhouse, our Barn Cabin or one of six RV sites. We keep things small on purpose. We like knowing who is staying here, saying hello when our paths cross, and still giving people plenty of space to enjoy the farm on their own.
You don’t need an itinerary here. Sit outside. Watch the cattle. Walk around the farm. Catch the sunset. Or head into Lynden, just three miles down the road.
Raising cattle is a big part of life here.
Our Wagyu are grass-fed and raised here on the farm, and we work with our butchers to use as much of each animal as possible. What started with our own herd has grown into the Farmstead Market, where we sell our beef directly from the farm.
If you stay with us, you’ll probably see the same cattle grazing across the fence that make this place a working farm.
We live here. We work here. And we’re still the ones answering the phone, checking on the cattle, mowing the grass, getting sites ready and helping guests when they need something.
We’re glad to share a little piece of it with you.
