More About Our Family and the Farm
Corinne Logan
Hi & welcome to Willows Edge Farm! I'm Corinne Logan. Wife, mom, webmaster, general partner & day to day operations manager. I can't imagine doing anything else at this moment in time! I love to work on the farm, get my hands dirty in the garden & play with the horses especially. I was raised with Thoughobreds, Arabian, Shetland and Welsh ponies as well as other equine friends. I started training my first pony when I was about 7 and by the ripe ol' age of 10 had trained my ponies how to drive. I've enjoyed working with horses ever since. You can read more about my horse history at our
Our Story
(About Us) page. Besides all of this, I also enjoy reading a book now and then, homeschooling & volunteering.
Scott Logan
Scott's along for the ride - and what a ride it's been so far! Not long ago, Scott did both residential & commercial landscaping. A few years back, Scott had an accident with a large piece of equipment, the equipment won, and that was the end of his landscaping career.
Besides family & the animals, Scott enjoys golfing, landscaping, playing with the tractor, building new barns (wait, that's on the "honey-do-list").
The Farm Kids...
Miss Chelsea
Chelsea's our teenager on the farm. She loves her horse, technology & hanging out with friends. It really depends on what day it is, how the planets are aligned, which of her friends are over, etc that she will tell you what she "really thinks" about farm life...one moment, it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and the next day she can't wait to live with grandma in the "city" someday. Recently, she went on her first mission trip to Portland, Oregon to help some of the teens living on the streets.
We couldn't have asked for a better daughter!
Dakota and Evan!
Dakota and Evan are our little characters! Evan follows big brother, Dakota, around everwhere & wants to be just like him. Big brother loves that - and ends up getting both of them into trouble. They really do love each other.
Dakota loves soccer & baseball and well, Evan just is one of those happy kids. Loves everything! You can find the boys, almost any time of the year, either playing outside or with one of their electronic games.
Whether is playing in the shop or on a swing or digging in a pile of dirt or sand, these two stay B-U-S-Y!
The Farm
The "Farm" has been in the Kirshner family since the late 1970's. Corinne & Scott Logan purchased the property from the Kirshner's in the mid 90's and it has become a place were many gather & find a quiet place to rest in the gardens, or socialize with the critters.
We have raised not only a variety of animals on the farm, but we've also helped to raise up a handful of at risk foster children as well.

We are located in Bothell, WA. Bothell used to be a small farm town with a handful of quaint shops "downtown". Today, Bothell has become a major contender in the Washington state technology insurance industries and has been experiencing one of the larger growth rates not only in Washington, but on the West Coast as well.

Our Family's Adventures
Two ways our family loves to vacation: go on cruises & go camping.
Polar opposites? Not as much as you might think. Corinne's grandpa, Paul Skinner, enjoyed going on cruises and started to take his entire family along before his passing in 2005. He instilled in us a method of keeping the family "all together" for a few days - just like camping!
We do love to go camping. We've camped around the great Pacific Northwest as well as Yellowstone & Glacier National Parks.
As our farm continues to grow, it becomes more difficult to do the camping trips we so love, as our "work season" is also big camping season - summer. One of our family ideas is to take the horses camping with us. This won't happen this year, but maybe 2011...we'll see how training goes!
Extended Family
Our extended family includes a bunch of entrepreneurs - instilled by parents who were motivated, successful & self employed. Here's our two cents worth on the family we love and what they love to do.
Kerri Kirshner: Corinne's sister. Truly a **STAR** in the Seattle photography arena. Some of her works have been compared to Anne Geddes, the world famous, baby photographer! Her passion explodes through her work though in photographing Special Needs Children and their families.
You can see a sampling of Kerri's work at
Acclaimed Photography

Mark Kirshner: Corinne's brother. Being raised in real estate, it was in his blood. Mark is a top producer at his Windermere real estate office in Everett, WA.
You can find out more about Mark, his offerings and other details at his website

Betty Lee Skinner: Corinne's great aunt. Published author who dedicated her life to being a missionary. You can find some of her works through the NavPress online site (www.navpress.org).
