Willowrose Bay Farm
Edith Walden, otherwise known as The Quince Queen, started Willowrose Bay Farm on Guemes Island in 1995, on a homestead that dates back to the 1850s.
A large Gravenstein tree still survives from this original homestead. She is a poet by trade, and grows on her xx acres ten varieties of quince, aronia berries and crabapples, all herself and all organically.
Unfortunately most of their vineyard has been torn out, but we were lucky to harvest one vintage (2020) and bud wood for our future vineyards.
