We first fell in love with good food. Then where it comes from. Then soil science and regenerative agriculture; resilient regional food economies and food sovereignty. We know many others will step into care and action for a sustainable, just food system through the same doorway we did — that first astounding bite of a new fruit. A breathtaking bouquet of flowers. Watching a smiling child reach down and pluck her first strawberry. The Name: Saturn completes its cycle around the Sun every 29.5 years, returning to the same position it was at your birth. Many wisdom traditions say that in the year preceding your Saturn return, your soul gets antsy and yearns to reconcile any misalignment between your current path and your essence. It can be a time of great turbulence but also of great discovery, healing, and action. We committed to this land and project during our own Saturn returns and hope to play host to countless others as they return to their source. We can't wait to meet you! — Emma & Wiley

Saturn's Return is where we gather in celebration of abundance. We're a regenerative organic farm, boutique inn, bed and breakfast, and weddings and events venue with 42 acres of pasture, forest, and walking trails. 42 acres: Flower, vegetable, and herb gardens. Young orchard and acres of pasture. Wetland, creek, and pond. 2 miles of walking trails through 22 acres of forest and meadow. Campus: Inn with bedrooms, living room, dining room, and sunroom. Arena (6400 ft²) for covered events. Barn, lofted classroom space, and stables. Workshop and laundry. Co-working office. Fast fiber internet. Buzz: Breakfast daily, and an array of self-serve snacks and provisions. If you wish, farm work: bees, chickens, flowers, herbs, vegetables, orchard. Seasonal workshops, community dinners, and guest chef residencies.

The rush of the mainland melts away here. Space to return back into yourself. Saturn’s Return is nestled in San Juan Island’s West Valley at the head of the Garrison Bay watershed, where forest, wetland, and pasture converge. Our stream is home to the island’s only native population of trout, just 10 feet from the Inn. Bald eagles, great horned owls, red foxes, fawns, and adorable little green frogs. These 42 acres are buzzing with life and all yours to explore. Walk the meandering trails through forest and meadow. Gather eggs or join us for our morning harvest. Lend a hand in the flower garden or help us plant new fruit trees. Browse our food, agriculture, and philosophy library. Read by the babbling stream. Join a seasonal workshop (like spring foraging or autumn preservation). Catch a community dinner or guest chef residency. Proximity: Around the bend to English Camp National Historical Park and Young Hill. Short drive to Lime Kiln Point State Park and Deadman Bay — beautiful despite the name. Town is a 12-minute drive away.
