We started with 3 farmers, 40 families, and one simple belief — that people deserve to know exactly where their food comes from.
“We didn’t set out to build a business. We wanted to rebuild the relationship between families and the land that feeds them.”
— Founders, Local Farm Co-op
Local Farm started in 2012 as a small experiment — three family farms pooling harvests to serve 40 households in Willamette Valley. Today, twenty-eight certified organic growers serve over 600 member families across Oregon.
Every dollar you spend goes directly to the grower. No platform take-rate, no shareholder dividends. Just soil, seeds, and the people who tend them.
