Saur Farming

Located under the northern foothills of Mt. Hood, this farm operates on 10 acres with a mission to enhance the health of the land and the community. Known for their use of Norwegian Fjord draft horses, they have become a staple at the Hood River Farmer’s Market and local restaurants, offering a variety of produce and flowers through their CSA program.

The farm employs organic methods with a strong emphasis on reducing water usage. They believe in the philosophy that healthy soil leads to healthy food, which in turn fosters a healthy community. The use of draft horses for cultivation and forest management underscores their commitment to sustainable and traditional farming techniques.

The farm offers a CSA program that runs from May through November, providing members with a weekly box of produce. They encourage community involvement and education, offering insights into local and seasonal growing. Their produce includes a wide variety of vegetables and herbs, and they provide recipes and cooking tips to help members make the most of their shares. Additionally, they offer discounts to CSA members at the farmer’s market and accommodate bulk orders for preservation.
