The farm has room to expand both livestock and crop production.  I am looking to connect with the right person to share the land. I have flexibility around how we structure our collaboration.  An aspiring farmer or homesteader of any experience level is welcome to apply. If requested, I am happy to provide mentoring.  It is okay for your farming aspirations to be at homestead scale - for personal self sufficiency, or a business scale - growing for market. I welcome increased diversity, welcome new farming enterprises or homesteading projects you might bring to the land. 

About the farm:
Located in Yamhill County Oregon, about 50 miles southwest of Portland, on a gravel road halfway between the towns of McMinnville and Sheridan. The farm has pastures, a small orchard, barn, shop, 1905 farmhouse, a productive well, spring, and two creeks.  My 10 acres is surrounded by forest and pasture with neighboring land owners allowing access for grazing and hiking.   Starlink internet and on-grid power available.

Housing:
On-farm housing options include sharing the farmhouse, with a private bedroom (single or double occupancy) with shared kitchen and bath.  Alternatively, the farm has a flat space to park a tiny home, RV, or yurt (with power and water hookup but no septic dump).  I am willing to set up a wall tent or other detached bedroom after we create a strong connection.  I am are not considering a "free rent for labor" or WWOOF type arrangement except as a short term trial period.  A resident on the farm will be asked to pay a cash rent aligned with fair market value.

About Farmer Ann:
I’m a super foodie and love cooking. I'm  a science-minded female farmer. Politically left-leaning. I care deeply about animal welfare and environmental stewardship.  In the past I lived in an intentional community, and enjoyed shared living situations with spontaneous community.  Professionally, I’ve worked in ag. education and farm management for 20+ years and co-founded the School of Adaptive Agriculture. I enjoy homesteading projects like baking from scratch, food preservation, cheese making, 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.  

Timeline

For timeline, my goal is to build connection and explore our compatibility this winter. I'd like to start with a short-term visit, if possible, and begin sharing the land in spring or summer 2026, with the potential to grow into a multi-year collaboration.  I’m not offering salaried employment. Not selling the land. 

Invisible Structure
To support our successful partnership I would like us to jointly create clear and equitable agreements tailored to our unique collaboration. I am open to various arrangements for how we work on the land, such as a profit-sharing agreement, co-grazing lease, or simply self-sufficiency without a marketing goal. 

If interested in collaborative farming and building community in northwest Oregon, 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!
