The Maple Valley Dispatch: September at Sadie Acres
Dispatch No. 09 September 2026
Maple Valley, Washington
Gathering autumn light, timber shavings, and new beginnings.
As morning mist settles over the pastures in Maple Valley, September brings a quiet rhythm back to Sadie Acres. We are excited to open our doors and share the handcrafted goods, ongoing projects, and homestead updates we have been tending through the season.
“Every piece that leaves our hands carries the story of the land it was shaped upon.”
From Kim & Nathan
Between workshop and evening chores, Kim and Nathan Straine continue shaping Sadie Acres into a community anchor—blending heritage craftsmanship with honest Pacific Northwest living.
Behind The Scenes
What is taking shape this month
From expanding our work tables to preparing seasonal small-batch releases, our days are filled with meaningful progress. Here is a look at what is unfolding across the property this September.
01. Workshop
Nathan's craftsmanship shines through his diverse skills in cutting raw stone, creating intricate jewelry, and meticulously drilling and setting pearls into stunning custom pieces.
Kims Working Hands
Inside our cozy studio, Kim is busy bringing autumn to life. She is currently crocheting warm scarves for the season, preparing a special surprise for Halloween, and carefully wrapping Nathan's latest collection of cut stones. Her creative touch is at the heart of everything we do this month.
Honey in Maple Valley
Better hurry! Our Sadie Acres Backyard Honey is almost sold out. We are down to the very last jars, and they are waiting for you at the Maple Valley Farms Market. Swing by and grab yours before they're all gone for the season!
Thank you for growing with us.
Whether you have followed our journey from the start or recently discovered Sadie Acres, we are deeply grateful for your support and presence in our community.
