Seasonal Produce
We grow a wide array of produce and flowers in our greenhouses and “food field.” From heirloom tomatoes and peppers to watermelons, strawberries and herbs, our offerings vary by the day and are grown using organic standards (although we are not certified). We plan to open our roadside Farm Stand this coming June, where we will offer our items and many other locally grown goods! Please sign up for our contact list to be kept in the loop so we can bombard you with texts and emails (just kidding, you’ll hear from us weekly at the very most).

Chicken Eggs
These chickens are living the good life. Yes, some of them even have names. We provide them with a certified Organic feed from Oregon, but they supplement it with grubs from the ground, endless amounts of vegetation in the pastures and nutrient-dense veggies from our garden. Our chickens also help us terminate our crops and soak up the sunshine in the greenhouses during the colder months, so life is ever-changing for them. You might find variability in yolk color based on their daily adventures and foraging styles.

Small-Batch Honey
While we save most of our honey for the bees to survive our long Central-Oregon winters, we do offer a limited supply of our surplus honey to our customers. Our apiary is situated in our perennial garden and under our fruit trees. We offer quarts, pints and half-pints each year of this robust honey! Please contact us if you would like to be on our honey list, as it sells out every year.

Grass-Fed Lamb Shares
Each year, we offer a limited supply of half and whole shares of lamb. The decision to sell meat does not come lightly for us; we do everything we can to ensure our animals have the best lives possible while they are here with us and we are confident this care comes through in the final product. On that note, there is much to learn about this treasured meat!
Sometimes referred to as "land salmon," grass-fed and finished lamb gets this nickname for its high levels of omega 3s (higher than any common land animal).
We raise primarily "hair" sheep breeds. Hair sheep are notable for their low lanolin levels, giving them a meat flavor that is mild and delicious. They shed their hair and do not require shearing.
The term "lamb" is misleading and refers to any sheep less than one year old. Our lambs will be butchered at approximately 8-10 months of age, an ideal age for tender and flavorful meat. The term "mutton" is used to describe the meat from sheep that are older. It is typically less palatable. We do not sell this!
If you are interested in learning more or in getting on our list for the upcoming season, please email us soon.
