Testimonials

“At the farm my son has learned that vegetables taste really good. He doesn’t get upset when we drive by fast food resteraunts, but he throws a fit if we drive by a produce stand and don’t stop to get something to eat!”
“We love the farm. My son asks all the time, ‘when are we going back to the farm? Can we go today?”
“I had no idea how to pick corn until I joined the farm.”
“I always wondered how to plant lettuce!”
“I can’t believe these beautiful tomato plants came from those little tiny seeds we started! That is so cool!”
“I bought a juicer after we joined the farm. It was the best investment, we drink the best things all summer long! I can even get my daughter to drink kale!”
“We’ve been so thankful to be a part of the farm. We’ve met some incredible people.”
“I can’t believe these beautiful tomato plants came from those little tiny seeds we started! That is so cool!”

Partnership

New Era Farms is a cooperative project. Each year multiple families join the co-op and enjoy the benefits of fresh produce, agricultural education, and community. We require each household to participate in farm work days which are vital to making the farm as productive as it is.

New Era Farms offers several types of partnerships:

The Classic Family Partnership: One year partnership requires 5 farm work days and costs $120. Partners can self harvest from April through October.

The Modified Family Partnership: One year partnership requires 1 work day and costs $360. Partners can self harvest from April through October.

Partners experience a high level of ownership in the farm and really enjoy being a part of the farm. To help you decide whether partnership is a good fit for you or not we’ve developed a helpful pros and cons list:

Pros:
  • Beautiful, local produce which tastes good when you eat it.
  • You don’t have to garden by yourself.
  • You don’t have to do all the work of a garden by yourself.
  • Five work days a year and you can tell people about “my farm” and not be lying.
  • You get to be a part of a fun community of people who like to eat well.
  • You don’t have to depend on whole foods to tell you what’s in season.
  • You can feel self righteous about being local and sustainable and lots of other words you hear on Portlandia.
