About
We operate on a one-acre urban farm in the Parkrose Neighborhood, a half-acre plot in the Cully Neighborhood, and eight acres in Longview, Washington, founded by the grandson of an Italian urban farmer. Providing food for a large family in Rhode Island during the Depression era, he passed his strong work ethic and passion for growing and cooking healthy food on to his grandson.
