“We have developed a close link with our local food bank, and through the combined effort from our labor and donations from the community we provide thousands of pounds of produce to those in need. Some of this food is distributed as memberships in our Community Farm for women and their children who are in the process of healing from abusive partner relationships.

In 1992 we began the Pumpkin Project to help foster a connection between the earth, agriculture and today’s youth. Students from a local elementary school learn to plant, transplant and harvest pumpkins. This program has been expanded to integrate math and planning skills in a real life application. Additionally many other groups and classes arrange for visits every year. We are also frequent speakers at a variety of conferences.

In 2002 Winter Green Farm was honored with the Oregon Tilth “Producer of theYear Award” for commitment to integrity in biologically sound and socially equitable agriculture.”
