About
Farming has given us the opportunity to change our values into purpose. Working with 2.5 acres of cultivated land in the East Columbia Neighborhood of Portland and in Orient, Oregon soil health is of utmost importance to us. East Columbia is a very unique neighborhood due to its wetlands, open spaces and drainage ways and our farm is located about half way between the Columbia River and the Columbia Slough. Anything that goes into our soil winds up in our food and our treasured waterways and this is our basis for all of the farming decisions we make.

Production Practices
Lil' Starts uses sustainable farming practices to grow clean, healthy produce and plants for our CSA programs, farmers markets and restaurant accounts. Owners Luke & Lillian Klimaszewski wholeheartedly believe in natural growing methods. That's why they only use non-GMO seed stock and their plants, produce and soil are free of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Lil' Starts makes their own soil mix and feeds their plants locally sourced compost, plant and fish teas and amendments from trusted sources. These earth honoring practices, along with a good dose of community and love, ensure the best conditions for healthy, thriving plants.
