Description
We’re a carbon negative, pasture based pig and poultry farm in Mulino, Oregon. Our mission is to raise happy animals on pasture, while nurturing healthy soil and feeding our community.
We’re building a Silvopasture system, which is in our opinion, the most idyllic farm scenario: our fields are full of lush perennial grasses, fruit and nut trees, and livestock grazing about. The grass is just a photosynthesis carpet, pulling carbon out of the air and turning it into food for the animals. The fruit and nut trees provide food for us, and whatever we don’t eat, the animals will. And the animals poop. As they roam around, they spread their manure. They also compact the soil, but the roots from the grass and trees break it up again. We move the animals each week so that they aren’t over fertilizing or compacting any one area too much. And if they do, because life gets busy, we make sure to reseed that area.
We’re creating a system that will be able to produce food beyond our time here, for whoever wants to do the work. We are farming for the future.
