Zenger Farm
Welcome to Zenger Farm
We are a working urban farm that models, promotes and educates about sustainable food systems, environmental stewardship, community development and access to good food for all.
Farm Business
What We Grow:
At Zenger Farm we grow 2.5 acres of mixed vegetables and fruits, we raise laying hens year-round and heritage-breed turkeys seasonally, we raise bees for the production of honey and the pollination of annual and perennial food crops, and we keep a large population of Red Wiggler Worms to compost farm waste.
How We Grow:
Using sustainable farm practices, we grow safe and healthy food today, and protect this urban parcel of farmland and the downhill wetland for generations to come. We do not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides, but instead, provide habitat for a diverse population of beneficial insects, and rotate our flock of laying hens throughout the farm fields to control weeds and provide nutrients for the soil. For more information about our farm practices, visit the farm!
Where Does it Go?
While the average bite of food travels 1500 miles to get from farm to fork, Zenger Farm produce stays right here in Portland, Oregon, feeding Portland bellies.
Find Zenger Farm produce, June-October, at the Lents International Farmers Market.
