Our sustainable farming philosophies are constantly adapting as we learn more and as we respond to the an ever changing farm environment. We are committed to growing diverse and unique crops following organic practices, aiming for the most flavorful and nutrient-dense end-product. We prioritize environmental health by using minimal tillage methods to foster living soils, creating thriving habitats for pollinator communities, and strive to strike a balance between human-scale, hand work and some mechanization. Many of the buzzwords used in the ‘sustainable agriculture’ movement do not necessarily feel authentic to us and we do not farm according to any single prescribed set of practices. We are excited about experimenting more with dry farming and collectivized farming models because our future requires that we figure out how to grow food in both changing social and ecological climates.

We strongly believe that all farm employees should be paid a fair, living wage and treated with respect. We all should ask ourselves who touched our food and how those people were treated. Equity in the food system means many things, and first and foremost it means dignity and fair wages for the hands that steward the land. We pay a starting wage of $18/hour, provide health insurance and paid sick/mental health/vacation days, and present opportunities for advancement. We couldn't do this without our team by our side.

We offer a 24-week CSA with 8 pick-up locations throughout the Portland metro area plus on farm pick-up. Members can add on a weekly fruit share from Kiyokawa Orchards. We also have an online store where you can add on to your CSA share delivery weekly the following: pork, beef, coffee, and flowers. You will also have access to the website "Cook with what you have". Annually, we will host a member appreciation day with the opportunity to meet your farmers, tour the farm where all the vegetables are grown, and eat really delicious food.
