Barn # 9 Delta Farm
Dungeness
East side of Towne, south of Anderson
This was once part of estate of Joseph Eberle. When he died in 1964 he left this half to his son, Frank. There was also an additional bequest to enable improvements to the house and "outbuildings to make it comparable to the farm bequeathed" to his other son Edwin. The barn itself dates to 1926 (with the milk house added in 1942), but I'm pretty sure it would have at least received a facelift at that time.
In 1999 Puget Consumers Co-op, a Seattle-based chain of seven natural foods stores, created The Farmland Fund, an independent, self-supporting, nonprofit land trust. Their first acquisition was this old lowland farm of 100 acres in the Dungeness valley. It is now called the Delta Farm and leased to Nash Huber.
