Producer

Total Eclipse Farm is a 20 acre lot in the upper Hood River Valley, a few miles outside of Parkdale. The bulk of the property is in pasture grass and wooded. We have had ~1/2 of an acre of mixed vegetable and berry production for the last 4 years and are hoping to continue to grow this. We sell to local restaurants and provide fresh food to the local food bank on a regular basis.

Our garden is entirely a 'by hand' production. What labor is not provided by me or my wife is provided by WWOOF'ers. We are not certified as organic, though our methods are organic or natural. We use only organic fertilizers and pesticides (e.g. Neem Oil) as needed. We are building our own compost and mulch, minimizing outside inputs. The land is incredibly productive and we are working to keep it healthy and as naturally diverse as possible.
