Company description

Winter Green Farm is a diversified certified organic family farm, using biodynamic methods of growing. We raise organic vegetables and fruits for our 500 member CSA and for our Farmers' Markets in Portland, Eugene,/Springfield and surrounding areas, and down the coast to Coos Bay.  We offer organic, grass fed beef for direct marketing in the Fall. Our farm is nestled in the foothills of the Coast Range. We grow on about 30 acres, and the rest of the farm is riparian areas, Oak groves, and wetlands. The beef herd grazes on organic pasture, permanent and rotational, and we use their manure from the over wintering barn to make our own compost. We enjoy training our crew to learn how to manage our land and harvests in the most sustainable way we can. We all work hard during the course of the season and we take great pride in raising and sharing the most amazing, healthy food we can with our community.

By employing biodynamic methods, we embrace our farm as a living organism. Our mission statement is "A productive farm in balance with the earth, humanity, and ourselves".
