“One of our goals as farmers is to have something blooming whenever possible. Flowers provide food for pollinators and beneficial insects and also help feed our spirits throughout the season. Often, weeds such as Queen Anne’s lace are allowed to flower prior to mowing or cultivating. Other volunteer winter weeds such as common groundsel flower early in the year, providing food for our native pollinators before our food crops flower. ”

About Us
Our small family farm is located on the banks of the Luckiamute River in the Hoskins area of Kings Valley, Oregon (20 miles northwest of Corvallis). Our mission is to provide unconventionally grown food for the people of our local community. To us, unconventionally grown means we take a systems approach in our efforts to balance our food production with our responsibility for our local forest, field and river life and with the health of our planet. We work hard to minimum our use of off-farm and petroleum dependent inputs and practice a method of agriculture that strives to emulate a natural system. Fundamental to the success of our production system is the integration of animals for fertility and weed management, our selection of crops and cultivars for pest and disease control and our practice of “farmscaping” which provides habitat for native pollinators and natural predators of pests. We are Demeter Certified Biodynamic® as well as certified organic by Stellar Certification Services.We are currently expanding our operations to provide a diversity of vegetable and fruit crops. We have been selling our blueberries through First Alternative Cooperative Grocery in Corvallis since 2005 and in the fall of 2009 began offering fall storage crops – potatoes, onions, garlic and winter squash direct for sale to consumers. 2012 marked our first year of real diversification – we grew a number of different vegetable crops and enjoyed the first fruits of our young orchard – apples, pears, and plums. This foray into diversified market farming was rounded out by attending the Corvallis Farmers’ Markets where we provided organically grown, Demeter certified Biodynamic® food to our customers. It was truly a pleasure to see new faces become familiar and to share the fruits of our labor. In 2014 you will again see us at the market and we will also be offering a number of ways to support the farm – as a market member, farmstand share, or box subscription.
