Quillisascut Farm School of the Domestic Arts WA

Farm School

In 2002 Lora Lea and Rick started the Quillisascut (Quil-li-sas-cut) Farm School of the Domestic Arts, “We want our farm to be a place where people can learn together, to understand where their food is coming from,” says Lora Lea. The Misterlys’ vision for the farm soon encompassed the larger community of farmers, chefs, restaurateurs, and others who have a place in the farm-to-table continuum. Lora Lea and Rick want to show us the intricate web that links producers and consumers with the land.

The School offers participatory education about where food comes from, changing the way people cook and eat for a better food future. Retreat participants will stay in the farm school, with bunkhouse-style lodging, shared bathrooms and a professional kitchen.
