Able Farms PDX

Able Farms PDX came from humble origins, with a motto of “We are Strong, we are Passionate, we are Able”. Able Farms initially started as a farm, land restoration project, and an umbrella for my artistic and culinary endeavors in 2009 on Wapato Island in Portland, OR. The ‘agricultural’ component of the farm has since mildly fallowed in grand production beyond members/events, as I am focusing intensely on my artistic endeavors imbued with land stewardship on a scale that goes beyond the agricultural realms. I am balancing my art focus alongside my agricultural and land stewardship career. The two are seamlessly intertwined. Able Farms PDX has had a successful CSA program, co-created and fostered local farmers markets, & The CSA Share Fair, and held numerous fundraisers, dinner collaborations, weddings, and workshops. The farm focuses on raising non-conventional and heritage pastured based livestock. We are a proud member of the Livestock Conservancy. Able Farms PDX specializes in land management, Native restoration, livestock integration, and ecological land assessment. Able Farms PDX still finds moments to curate intimate gatherings that are rooted in agriculture, viticulture, Indigenous principles, artistic installations, and culinary systems-begging questions and designing avenues around social, spiritual & food justice issues.
