I started the farm in 2011 with half a rough-tilled acre and no moose fence. Over the years we have steadily expanded. In 2021 we added yet another half-acre to accommodate our growing flower enterprise, bringing our total area under cultivation to about 2 1/2-3 acres behind a (usually effective!) moose-and-cattle fence. We currently have 9 passive covered structures and one "real" greenhouse with heat and year-round cover. The years have seen us add an irrigation system, our second walk-in cooler, various new roof lines and a "flower studio" addition to the harvest shed, and an ever-evolving array of new tools and techniques.
Recently I have been focused on applying techniques such as minimal tillage, occultation, mulching and flame weeding in an attempt to see how little tillage we can pull off in our cold soils. I am excited to view agriculture not only as an opportunity to produce healthy non-toxic nutrient-dense food for my community, but also to begin to address issues around climate change and carbon sequestration. Next on my wish-list are hedgerows and an expanding variety of perennial crops to further support not only our soil but the beneficial insects and birds that do so much to maintain a healthy balance in our little ecosystem.
Sun Circle Farm has been USDA Certified Organic since 2017, currently under Oregon Tilth. While I have been growing in accordance with the basic rules of organic agriculture since I began farming, pursuing Organic Certification allowed me to assure my growing customer base that I was truly committed to following ALL the rules. We undergo an annual site inspection and maintain thorough records of everything that we add to our soils or processes. I appreciate the opportunity to stand by my beliefs in the most transparent and accountable way currently possible. When I say that "I grow organically" it is not some watered-down convenient version that allows for chemical fertilizers or herbicides when things get challenging. When I say that I NEVER use chemical herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers, I want my customers to be fully assured that I mean NEVER.
I love farming and take great pride in continuing to learn and to improve in order to bring you the best-tasting and healthiest fresh produce and flowers possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting small scale sustainable agriculture, my family, and my farm.
