THE ROOTS OF OUR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Welcome to Around the Bend Farms
Through creative action, we contribute to a healthy and sustainable urban food system. Our solution successfully connects people to fresh food.
We facilitate Innovative, Healthy, Local Food Access.
We are steadily expanding our efforts to grow more fresh food for people. Our team builds, installs, and manages unique & compact urban farms capable of offering access to the freshest produce within central Oregon.
Healthy Food Has No Boundaries
Bringing healthy vegetables to the Warm Springs Reservation Starting the Summer of 2024
A relationship for better health
IT STARTED WITH A CONVERSATION ABOUT FOOD ACCESS
In collaboration with HDFFA and the Health & Human Services branch at Warm Springs, Around The Bend Farms will provide fresh produce throughout the growing season, promoting better health and community well-being.
All money donated to this project will enable us to grow and transport fresh produce to Warm Springs. The funding pays for farm supplies and tools such as seeders and greenhouse covering, a walk-behind tractor, and farm labor. We’re also working with tribal members to build fertile soil on a 3-acre plot so that food can be regularly grown for the Warm Springs community.
Take Action
OUR EFFORTS ARE EVEN STRONGER WITH SUPPORT FROM OUR COMMUNITY.
Volunteers and student interns will gain plenty of great experience with what it takes to stabilize food security and make a big difference.
Our Mission
Growing Food. Community. Building Things. Education. Nutrition. Research. That's how we play with dirt.
We are creating a system where fresh, nutritious produce is abundantly and locally grown in compact urban farms and distributed throughout the central oregon region. We work to build an all-inclusive urban agriculture society, and put our unique twist on bridging our communities as we improve access to healthy food.
“We are the possibility, and have power to serve all life. We can’t afford to squander away such a gift.”
