No one is more excited than Market Garden Manager

No one is more excited than Market Garden Manager Justin Peterson for his new greenhouse being built!Investing in a greenhouse means we can nurture our garden year-round, providing fresh, vibrant produce no matter the season. ❄️☀️ With this step forward, we’ll have greater control over the growing environment, ensuring our veggies thrive even during Oregon’s rainy, cold months. #GrowWithUs #FarmToTable #SustainableFarming #RegenerativeFarming #nutrientdense

Warm, happy hens = more eggs! 🐔❄️ Our wint

Warm, happy hens = more eggs! 🐔❄️Our winter coops are thoughtfully designed to keep our flock safe, warm, and thriving during the colder months. These coops provide insulation against the cold, protection from moisture, and ample ventilation to maintain air quality—all crucial elements for chicken health. By reducing stress and keeping their environment cozy, we help our hens maintain consistent egg production even in winter.Creating a comfortable, stress-free space means healthier hens and farm-fresh eggs year-round. Because when our chickens are cared for, they reward us with the very best! 🥚✨#HappyHens #FarmFreshEggs #RegenerativeFarming #NutrientDense

Our Market Garden Manager Justin’s favorite snac

Our Market Garden Manager Justin’s favorite snack is popcorn, so he figured “why not grow my own?” Well, he did: Amish Butter Popcorn—an heirloom seed dating back to the 1800s. This golden treasure isn’t just delicious; it’s a connection to generations of sustainable farming. Known for its rich, buttery flavor and tender texture, this popcorn is a reminder of the beauty in preserving time-honored traditions. Watch as we take it from crop to snack! We’re proud to nurture this piece of history in our soil. #HeirloomSeeds #FarmToTable #RegenerativeFarming #FreshPopcorn

During our rainy season here in the Pacific Northw

During our rainy season here in the Pacific Northwest, rotational grazing often pauses to protect the land. To keep our pastures healthy, we move the cattle to barns and provide them with high-quality hay, giving them access to an area known as a sacrifice pasture. This intentionally designated space endures the wear and tear of the wet season so that the rest of our pastures can rest and regenerate.This approach supports both the animals and the land. The cattle remain healthy and content, while the pastures are safeguarded from erosion and overuse. At the heart of our farming philosophy are three key principles: rotation, diversity, and rest—and winter is a crucial part of that rest. 🌾🐄#sustainablefarming #rotationalgrazing #pasturemanagement #PNWfarming#regenerativefarmersofamerica

This World Soil Day, we’re celebrating a foundation of our farm: healthy soil. We use regenerative techniques that help reduce erosion, improve water retention, and nurture a thriving soil microbiome. Why? Because healthy soil grows healthier plants—and that means better-quality proteins and produce for you. 🌱 #WorldSoilDay #RegenerativeFarming #WendellBerry

What a wild week of weather here in the valley! We’ve had over 10 inches of rain in recent weeks, with intermittent heavy winds and downpours.But here’s the amazing part: our pastures are soaking it up, and our pond and terrace systems are working beautifully! They’re slowing the water down and helping the land recharge its underground hydrology—exactly as designed. Nature and good design in action!#WaterIsLife #WaterRetention #Permaculture #RainDoesntScareUs!
