Elderberry Wisdom Farm is a Native American nonprofit corporation located in the Willamette Valley. We train Native American adults in farming and horticulture so they can grow healthy food for their family, establish a microenterprise, participate in our Native American Farm Cooperative, and give back to the soil by strengthening the biodiversity of the soil.
We lost our farmland lease this spring and are searching for a new organic farm. Our staff and interns are hard working and respectful and want to arrange a new lease or lease-option. We and our team are searching for a special opportunity to continue training and experiential service learning on land that we can work over a longer period of time.

Our educator is a successful farmer, but the cohort of Native Americans are learning farming, horticulture, conservation and habitat restoration. We integrate traditional ecological knowledge with Western science practices. We are forming a Native American Farm Cooperative and Farmers Market.
In the next five years, our cohort of Native American farmers will commit to increase their interplanting skills and experience in farming and pursuing other horticultural activities so they can establish a secure social and economic future.
We plan to permanently farm value added food products and conduct conservation and habitat restoration work on the land. Our cohort of farmers plan to securely operate businesses that can help to support their families long-term.
Housing is not necessary but may be helpful in the future for some of the coop members in our cohort.
We are a community of color that has a rich race reconciliation philosophy that welcomes all colors, ethnicities and orientations.
To contact a land seeker, you must first create a land listing and have it approved by our staff. Thank you.
