Love Farm Organics

Welcome to our organic family owned farm. We provide fresh, healthy, flavor-rich foods for our local community and Portland metro-area folks through our member-share CSA program and direct sales. We grow a wide assortment of vegetables, fruits and some herbs and flowers.

Our farming practices always have and always will be sustainable and organic. We do not use any harmful treatments or chemicals on the food we grow. We always will aim to renew our environmental resources, not exhaust or pollute them. We pride ourselves on healthy and safe growing practices which are in regular use and integral to our farm.

They are as follows: Crop rotations, cover-cropping, composting, composted manure's and compost teas, green manures, natural amendments, we never use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides nor fungicides, we primarily use drip irrigation, we are committed to building soil tilth and supporting the life (worms, fungi and much more!) of the soil, we eat our dirt in the field regularly, we provide habitat for wildlife and beneficial insects, we use untreated and organic seeds often favoring the heirloom and open pollinated varieties, we cultivate the old fashioned way - with hoes and an old cultivating tractor which, we are working towards converting to bio-diesel, we provide for ourselves a humble, livable salary and in turn live sustainably and pay our help a fair and livable wage, we have a natural wetland and natural woods on our farm and plenty of wildlife.
