At Abundant Life Farm, our goal is to provide a better tasting and healthier product for consumers who care about the food they eat and how it is raised—food from the abundance of life God provides—true food for life.

Our layers, broilers, and turkeys are moved daily to fresh pasture and are fed a high quality, custom feed locally mixed to our own recipe. Turkeys are available for Thanksgiving. Now available is pasture raised duckling. Fresh broilers are available during the summer; frozen broilers are available year round.  Brown eggs are available year round. All of our poultry is processed by hand in our state inspected poultry processing facility, so we can verify the safety and cleanliness of our product from start to finish. 

Our salad bar beef is moved daily to fresh pasture. Pastured lamb and pork are available periodically throughout the year. Having learned first hand from pasture pioneer Joel Salatin, we are adopting his model to the Pacific Northwest. All of our beef, lamb, and pork are available by the piece or by the side. 

We sell our meats at the year-round, indoor Salem Public Market on 12th and Rural Avenue in Salem. We also have buying clubs in Portland and Salem and plan to add Corvallis soon.

Afton Field Farm is located in Corvallis, Oregon and owned by Tyler and Alicia Jones. Tyler is a graduate of Joel Salatin’s Polyface Farm apprenticeship program and the farm is adapted to Salatin’s philosophy and multi-species rotational grazing methods.

We offer pastured poultry, beef and lamb, and oak savanna pork. The animals spend the majority of their lives outside and are moved to fresh pasture daily or as needed. The beef and lamb are strictly grass fed. All other animals—layer chickens, broiler chickens, turkeys and hogs— forage a portion of their diet from the pasture and woods and are supplemented with custom grain mixes milled locally. The hogs are often finished on apples or acorns. We also keep bees and have honey available.

Though we are not certified organic we follow organic practices that preclude the use of pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, growth hormones and routine antibiotics in our farm operations. We process all of our poultry on-farm in our state licensed facility and our large animals at a local custom abattoir.

We sell on-farm to individuals, at the Corvallis Saturday Farmers’ Market, and to buying clubs and restaurants from Corvallis to Portland. Please contact us for product availability, farm visits, and events.

All Natural Pastures Farm is taking orders for beef and pork now!

On our ranch we raise our cows and pigs on 150 acres of green pasture. There have been no chemicals sprayed on our property for over 8 years.

Our animals are allowed to eat naturally, rooting and eating fresh grasses, legumes, fresh fruits and vegetables planted for them. The soil is then replenished with life through their work. All our animals are treated gently. This provides the highest quality, great tasting, healthier meat from our family to yours. We do not use hormones or steroids. All our meats are naturally lean.

Our beef and pork can be purchased live at our farm or we offer half orders. Call or e-mail us, or arrange to meet us at our farm just a little ways from Pleasant Hill, Oregon (just a few miles outside Eugene).

Butler Creek Farm grass-fed cows are born and raised on a small coastal Oregon Century Farm that was homesteaded by our family in the 1800s. The farm includes old growth timber, salt marsh and alluvial flood plain pastures.

Our cows are humanely treated and graze our pastures year round. Their winter diets are supplemented with clover and grass hay that is grown and harvested on-site. They are not fed any grains. They do not receive any hormones or low level antibiotics. They do receive immunizations and de-worming solutions as recommended by our herd veterinarian to keep them healthy in our lush environment.

Beef is sold by the whole, half, or quarter animal. We also sell hamburger by the quarter animal. Our cattle are butchered on-site by a licensed mobile butcher. This is carefully done away from the rest of the herd. The butcher hauls the hanging beef in a refrigerated truck to the custom meat packing plant, where it is aged under refrigeration. We use one butcher in Eugene and one in Bandon.

We only sell our beef directly to consumers each fall (typically) with the option of delivery for a $45 fee, or you can pick up your product directly from the butcher.

Graf Century Farm has been in the same family since 1881. In 1994, Loren and Nita Wilton began making the transition to pasture-intensive farming. Today, they raise pasture-finished beef, as well as pasture-finished turkeys,and natural pork. The turkeys are featured each Thanksgiving at Higgins Restaurant in Portland.

The Wiltons' goal is to practice an agriculture that heals and regenerates, and that thrives on diversity, resource regeneration, and lower petroleum use.  After over-wintering the cattle on deep bedding packs, the cattle are returned to the pasture in the springtime, pigs are brought into the winter shed to aerate the bedding and turn it into sweet-smelling compost.  The finished compost is spread back on the pasture, returning the nutrients to the soil.

Pasture finished beef from their top-quality Herefords is available in whole, half, or split-halves (quarter) in June or August. Pork is available in early fall. Turkeys are available in early November.  

The Graf Century Farm, Nita and Loren Wilton, 44222 SE. Louden Road, Corbett OR 97019. (503) 695-5452.

Home on the Range Beef started from the necessity to provide our own family with a clean, healthy source of beef. We needed beef that we could depend on how and where it was raised, and we wanted to provide this for other families as well. Raising the healthiest possible beef has become our passion.

Our Longhorn cattle freely graze the sagebrush country of Eastern Oregon. We use solar power to pump water wherever possible. We have fenced riparian areas and replanted sensitive areas to re-establish natural habitat. We are not certified organic but use organic practices wherever possible.  

We are producing an all grass fed beef that we offer from retail cut, i.e. 6-ounce steak, to a whole beef custom cut. You may order from our website or see us at the farmers markets.  

Our beef is 100% traceable. We never feed animal by-products or use hormones or antibiotics, and the animals are always free range. During the winter months we provide our cattle with locally grown grass hay free from pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

We have been in the business of raising cattle for 30 years and have applied this knowledge to raise the best tasting beef for our family and friends. The healthiness of our beef is an extra bonus to the delicious flavor.

Meadow Harvest 100% grass-fed beef and lamb.

Our farm consists of 60 acres along a beautiful river. All the pastures are fenced so cows never disturb the banks. 40 of the acres are certified organic and we are in the process of getting the rest certified. All our animals are born and raised on our farm, grazing with their mothers on pastures in a rotational grazing system.

We do not feed grain, hormones or antibiotics. We put our animals comfort and heath as priority number one. We use antibiotics as medicine to treat health problems. The lambs for butcher never receive antibiotics. Occasionally the beef may need to be treated for a problem; we keep track of the treated animals and can assure customers their animal has never received an antibiotic.

We  send our animals to a USDA inspected butcher where the meat is dry aged cut and wrapped. We have most of the popular cuts of beef and lamb and can arrange custom orders. We also sell whole and half lambs in the fall. The butcher we use is not certified organic so our meat will not be sold as organic. We are happy to answer specific questions about our products or management.

We sell meat at farmers markets and at the farm contact us for arrangements  meadow-harvest@hotmail.com  We are located about one and a half hour's drive from Portland OR.

Modoc Ranch in southern Oregon produces grass/hay fed Angus beef. We raise and sell 10–12 steers and heifers per year to individuals. Most of them are sold at around 7 months old (500 pounds) where the buyer can finish them as desired, the steers for meat and the heifers for meat or breeding. We can also make arrangements to feed them, as we do our own beef, on pasture and hay to butcher age, around 20–24 months (1200–1500 pounds).

We use no hormones, grain, or supplements. We raise all our own hay and all our breeding cows were born on the ranch. We purchase a new Angus bull every two years to prevent in-breeding. Our calves and cows are rotated through different pastures (7 days on, then 21 days off) to control weeds and parasites and to maximize pasture output. Pastures and hay fields are sprinkler irrigated from the Rogue River to conserve water. The pastures include alfalfa, clover, orchard grass, rye grass, timothy, and other grasses. All cows and calves are tagged at birth and we have records on each one.

Mossback Farm is a small family farm in the foothills of the Coast Range of northwest Oregon. As former vegetarians, we started off with a desire to have access to animal products that we could trust. Since beginning the farm in 2000, we have worked to provide food of the highest quality while minimizing the ecological footprint of our operations. Our goal is to provide local customers with fresh, healthy and humanely grown products.

As of 2007, we are specializing in grass-fed beef. All of our animals are raised on pasture from the earliest age, and are supplemented during the winter with locally-grown hay. We strive to provide a healthy environment for our animals while maintaining the health of our land and water. To do this, we practice intensive rotation, moving the animals frequently to fresh pastures.

Our beef is available by the whole, half or quarter (split-half) by pre-order in June/July. Quantities are limited so please contact us to find out our product availability for 2007 and to get on our 2008 waiting list.

Our customers are extremely loyal because they appreciate the quality of the products that we provide and the ability to communicate directly with the farmers who grow their food. For more information about our farm and our products, please contact us via phone or e-mail.

North Valley Farm is a specialty producer of pasture raised lamb in Yamhill County, the heart of Oregon wine country. 

The breeds we raise, Romneys and Lincolns, are known for their ability to produce tender, mild flavored lamb on a diet of native grasses. We market only lambs born and bred on our farm which means we know what they and their mothers have eaten for their entire lives. 

By using intensive rotational grazing on our lush green pastures, we allow the grass to rest in between grazings and reduce the need for frequent worming. We produce our own grass hay and purchase alfalfa from a farmer down the road, as part of our own effort to buy locally. 

When you purchase North Valley Farm lamb, you are guaranteed a great tasting product, slaughtered and cut to order at a local USDA facility. At this time, we offer lamb by the whole or the half and customers can provide us with specific cutting instructions. 

We deliver to the Portland metro area and can ship anywhere in the US via UPS and Fed Ex. Farm pick up and visits are always welcome.

Yankee Acres is gearing up to make the most out of a few acres. At present, we have healthy, tasty soy-free eggs from free-range, pastured hens. The fields are pesticide-free for 5 years now, and the hens are hormone-free (including free of phytoestrogens from soy, obviously). The hens are out each and every day foraging over several acres. With the increase in customer base, the flock has been enlarged to accommodate the demand.

Due to requests for soy-free eggs, the hens are fed a home-prepared mix made from a variety of grains, seeds, sprouts and micro greens which includes: peas, wheat, corn, oats, barley, flaxseed, sunflower seeds, fish meal, alfalfa, brewer's yeast, kelp, organic minerals and Celtic sea salt. Ingredients vary based on availability.

To accommodate busy customers, an "Egg Station" has been constructed for 24/7 Self Serve purchasing of eggs. Just drive up to the station and pick the sizes and amounts you want out of the refrigerator and leave money in the cash box.

Rabbits have been purchased and we anticipate beginning production in the next few months of a small amount of pasture-raised rabbits. Hives have been purchased for honey bees to arrive spring of 2010. Stop by our website periodically to see what progress we make.

DIRECTIONS: Take I-5 South to Albany Exit for Rte 20, turn right onto Rte 20 and head east towards Lebanon. About 7 miles, turn left on Honey Sign Drive. There is a big white sign with red letters saying HONEY on the corner. [No, there is no honey available for sale on this road anymore...but there will be next year ;) ]. Go down the road and see the small signs for Yankee Acres and Soy-Free Eggs hanging on a post on the right side of the road.
