About

Who we are
We are a motley group of Portlanders with a passion for food as a source of security, justice and health for people and the environment.  We are gardeners, activists and eaters--and many other things as well.  Median Farms is our new project.


About Median Farms
The Median Strip is the often ignored little piece of land that buffers the sidewalk from the curb.
The intention of Median Farms is to convert this barely thought-of land into a community resource that increases food-security, public knowledge of food gardening, and strengthens neighborhood bonds. Median Farms is part community project, part social experiment--in which we will work together to grow food in median strips. Median Farms will be a community snack-resource, an educational activity,and a testing ground for small-space gardening, permaculture, winter gardening and organic techniques. It will be a social activity between neighbors and a small step towards increasing local food-resilience in this time of great change.
