What are you doing as a landholder to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for everyone on your land and in your community?

We acknowledge that the land we are stewarding was once stolen from First Nations Indigenous People of Luckiamute, Confederated Tribes of Siletz, Confederated Tribes of Grande Ronde, Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla, and Kalapuya. As such, we are dedicated to ensuring that our farm is a safe space for community members from diverse backgrounds, especially marginalized communities like LGTBQI2A+ and BIPOC folx.
