Farmer Ann's goals: 

•      Empower an aspiring farmer with access to land (and guidance if needed)

•      Increase farm production beyond what I can achieve alone.     

•      Feed our local community.

•      Build cooperative relationships with like-minded farmers

•      Support each other so we can have days off while confident our animals and crops are well tended in our absence.

I’d like to start with a short-term trial, with the potential to grow into a multi-year co-farming partnership.  I’m open to consider how we share the land, such as a profit-sharing agreement, co-grazing lease, or other equitable arrangement. I’m not offering salaried employment or selling the land. I am open to starting with WWOOF-style, or sharecrop arrangement.

About me:
I’m a science-minded, food-loving, left-leaning, female farmer who values sustainability and collaboration. I’ve worked in organic education and farm management for 20+ years and co-founded the School of Adaptive Agriculture. I enjoy homesteading projects like cheesemaking, canning, baking, and natural building— happy to share those skills! I am straight but not narrow and proud to offer a safe and welcoming place for members of the LGBT community.

About the farm:
Located between McMinnville and Sheridan, about 50 miles southwest of Portland. Surrounded by forest and pasture, with access to neighboring land for grazing and foraging. The farm has a productive well, spring, and creeks.

Housing:
This can be a residential or off-site arrangement. On-farm housing options include space for your tiny home, RV, or yurt (with power and water hookup but no septic). I am willing to invest in a wall tent after building a connection. Starlink internet and on-grid power available.  A room in the farmhouse is available during a short trial stay.

If interested, email ann@weefamilyfarm.com to introduce yourself — Please mention where you found out about this opportunity, your availability, housing needs, any animals or partners you’d bring, and what projects interest you most. I look forward to connecting!
