Northwest Grown For Over 100 Years
As a farmer-owned business, we source our produce through a wide variety of growers in Oregon’s lush Willamette Valley. We believe the family farm is the best way to provide delicious, high quality food to our customers. In doing so, we provide support to family farms so they can thrive. We appreciate the wisdom and knowledge that makes up the generations of our farmers, and together we grow and harvest dozens of delicious fruits and vegetables.
“I remember sitting with my dad in the 8th grade and I said I wanted to farm. So I kind of made up my mind at that point that was what my future was going to be.
“Our farming operation we’re hoping continues for many generations. I see my role in the future as being a mentor to the younger generation to try and help them succeed in what they are doing.”
“Our family moved to the Willamette Valley over 100 years ago now. At this location is a century farm for us. My great-grandfather Albert originally moved here in 1909.
“It became obvious that farming is what I wanted to do. Working with the land, working with the soil.”
“It is so rewarding to plant a crop and nurture it along and have an end and have a harvest. When the time is right we know we have one chance to get things right, and we have to give it everything we have.
“As a family farming, our greatest reward is not necessarily financial. The opportunity to grow things for people that are healthy to eat—that I find very rewarding.”
