About

We are a local family farm serving Portland with pesticide and chemical free food for over two decades. We use ecological and sustainable methods to grow a wide variety of fresh vegetables and fruit in season and bring them to farmers markets in Portland year round. We are proud of the way we steward the land with soil building methods and resource conservation technologies like the use of bio-fuels,100% use of water conservative drip irrigation, low water and no irrigation crops, crop rotation, seed saving, and short distance hauling of all crops produced. We are actively engaged in organic agriculture research doing what we can to make local agriculture more sustainable and viable for future farmers. We are active teachers and advocates of healthy living and living systems and make time to share our knowledge with those starting out on their careers in organic agriculture.
We are blessed by the special community of people who support our work and share their lives with us each week at our markets.
In addition to the crops we grow we make processed foods and medicines for our community and feature these proudly at our markets booths each week. We are growers of grain and operate a grain mill producing a wide variety of flours, mixes and cereals . We are one of the few farms that we know of that grows, mills and bakes bread each week for sale at our markets. We offer delicious and highly nutritious whole meal breads made from the grain we grow, freshly ground in our farm based mill. All of our grains and grain products are also grown without pesticides of chemical fertilizers. We work with nature not against Her.
We also offer other products including seed and nut butters, frozen soups, pastries, herbal medicines and fermented foods like sauerkraut and Kim Chi. During summer months we bring homemade delicious salads, condiments, hummus and salsa to market each week. Come by and taste some of the foods we sample at each market! We truly have something for everyone and are looking forward to meeting you.
Thanks for reading our bio and profile and thanks especially for supporting local agriculture and food artisans!

Production Practices

No use of chemicals fertilizers or pesticides of any kind. We use 100% drip irrigation with potable well water. We use bio-fuels for machinery and keep food transportation to market to a minimum - no more that 30 miles. We scrutinize all of our practices continuously to enhance and embrace ecological sustainability. We are in-season growers only and do not use plastic extended season methods as currently practiced in the industry through the use of field tunnels. We exclusively use plant based, bio-degradable mulching materials in our vegetable crop beds. All grains grown are non-proprietary and locally bred. We are actively engaged in organic agriculture research and testing, which includes agricultural inventions that we have developed and marketed.
