Eat where you live – hyper local and organic – as intimate as food can be
Earth Day is an opportunity to contemplate how your actions support the earth: the atmosphere, the land, the animals, all of it. For us on the Farm, we like to think that our very being is in support of Earth Day every day.
Keeping our carbon footprint as low as possible is one of the main goals of how we farm.
- We make most of our own soil amendments instead of sourcing them off farm.
- We focus our farming techniques on sequestering carbon by supporting the mycorrhizal fungus in the soil and using responsible tilling practices.
- We farm in a way that keeps pests and weeds at bay (lots of weeding by hand, rotating crops, and tending) and never ever do we use any chemicals (those bad -cides) which are mostly sourced from petroleum.
Equally as important: how we sell what we farm. We sell only within a 50 mile radius. We serve you, people who live in Central Oregon. This means we don’t have to blow all that carbon to get our food to markets and, because you source your groceries from us, you are cutting down your carbon footprint. The meats, vegetables, grains, eggs, pickles, etc. are all born and raised in Central Oregon. You purchase them in Central Oregon and enjoy them in Central Oregon. So many options, tiny little footprint.
Our Full Diet CSA has perhaps the biggest carbon footprint savings. This CSA, our flagship CSA, is a year round CSA based upon household size where you too can eat like a farmer: seasonally, locally, and with intention and integrity.
As a Full Diet member, you can source up to 100% of your diet right here from the farm: certified organic vegetables; certified organic wheat, corn, and buckwheat flour milled on site, dried beans, and Tibetan Black Barley; pastured chickens and pigs; regeneratively grazed, grass fed and finished Pitchfork T Beef; raw milk; eggs; and honey. All the ingredients one needs, all sourced essentially right next door.
Your commitment to eating locally and seasonally is a powerful choice. A choice that supports your overall health and wellness through nutrient dense food while also supporting our Earth every day.
Happy Earth Day everyone! May you continue to be conscious consumers feeding yourselves and supporting the planet one delicious bite at a time.

Flash back to last summer when Cami was feeding and taking care of our worms. The
worms live in here and we take their castings and then turn the castings into a tea that we
feed our plants. Hyper local soil amendments!
