Why

We love producing and growing food that is organically raised, natural and healthy
Monoculture is not the only way to feed humans
It’s a challenge worth trying for

What

A regenerative farm (No chemical fertilizers or round-up used on farm)

A place for folks to come, experience and learn in a visceral way how nature and food cycles works and don’t work

A community with for profit and non-profit parts that provides a framework for the next generation of farmers, conservationists and businesses around land and practices that are balanced.

  • Native Oregon Oak abounds, along with Ponderosa Pine, and the property teams with wild turkey, deer, elk, bobcat, song birds, raptors, and coyote. 
  • The property has been farmed intensively for over 100 years, with well developed fields and infrastructure. Its forest (over half the property) have been managed as habitat, and they mark a rare block of healthy native oak woodland and savannah.
