We are a family-run, certified organic, commercial produce farm located in Coburg, OR since 2009. Our produce goes to local grocers, restaurants, food hubs and to our 300 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) families. The farm is friendly and inclusive while also being highly productive. We encourage work life balance through paid and unpaid time-off, fairly regular hours, and openness to PT work. Staff have full access to surplus produce, lunch space under the shade of an old apple tree, running water and electricity in the barn to warm up your lunch or have coffee.
