Quackenbush Farm

Quackenbush Farm started in Ridgefield, Washington as a partnership between 4 friends. They were young, motivated, and wanted to grow a business based around community health and vitality. Each contributed a thousand dollars as startup, or seed money, and kept their day jobs. They found a rental with property with a brave landlord and within a month of signing the lease, plowed the field. Over the years the farm has evolved, growing and reaching new markets and customers. The small CSA, the first iteration of the farm, has now grown into farmer’s markets, restaurants, wholesale, and an on site farm stand. In 2017 the farm found a permanent home when Matt and Jennifer purchased 20 acres in Eagle Creek, Oregon. Around this time, we partnered with Rogue Farm Corps to develop an apprenticeship program to train the next generation of farmers. In 2019, the farm family expanded with a baby boy, Edwin James, and again in 2022 with another boy, Rowen Sebastian (our future generation of farmers). The story continues as the family farm grows in experience. We believe healthy food starts with healthy soil, clean water, and a farm family dedicated to the land and its delicate web of life. From that soil grows wholesome, nutritious food which is essential to promote a healthy diet, a healthy lifestyle, and a healthy community. On the farm, we are all connected to that beautiful place where the soil meets the sun.
