General Farm Description: We are an established small/mid-scale diversified farm outside of Portland, Oregon entering our 13th season. We focus on organic, annual vegetable production for direct-to-consumer and a slowly growing list of wholesale customers. We vend at 3 farmer’s markets per week, a small on-site farm stand, and sell to restaurants and school districts. We are a small team that work closely together on a daily basis to grow high quality, organic produce for our customers. We’re passionate about our craft and value hard work, sweat, sore muscles, but most importantly, work/life balance.
