Spring Alignment

Happy Equinox! Before we break ground for the growing season 🪏we are calling all Portland-area farmers, market gardeners, and food producers committed to sustainable and regenerative practices. Let’s come together to align on conservation practices, share knowledge, and build relationships across Portland’s farming community.

This is a space to discuss what we’re holding, both the land and the practices that sustain it, as we move into spring.

This gathering aligns with Section 2501 programming, supporting outreach and technical assistance for socially disadvantaged and historically underserved farmers and ranchers.
