Kindness Farm

Mission

Kindness Farm is a multicultural, queer-led regenerative community farm in SE Portland, cultivating the flourishing and upliftment of our communities through healing, land-centered work, environmental education, and access to fresh, nutritious food.

We believe that we are all threads of one great tapestry, woven together into one living system through soil, sunlight, water, and air. We care for our land and community as one living body. Our work is an act of love.

In the last 4.5 years we've:

- Provided 7,484 children, adults, and elders with access to land, the experience of growing food, and environmental education – learning how to steward land using regenerative practices that heal our ecosystems and create climate resilience.

- Provided 31,506 pounds of healthy, fresh produce—at no cost—for over 83,641 meals, produce boxes, and food pantries.

- Cultivated a diverse, inclusive community through 33,781 volunteer and learning hours.

Bottom Line for Portland

• - Nutritious, culturally relevant food in the hands of those who need it most—while nurturing a resilient, caring community that shows up for one another.

• - Access to land, gardening, and environmental education for kids, adults, and elders in our community.

• - Meaningful connection to self, land, and community through shared care and learning.

Quote

“Our community deserves organic, locally grown fresh produce to help sustain them, and typically fresh items are a challenge to come by when there is limited funding. If it wasn’t for the farm’s generosity and quality produce, our families would not be able to provide nutritious vegetables to our local community.”
