Kindness Farm Q***r, immigrant, refugee led farm
Teaching folx how to grow food
Donating everything we grow

Kindness Farm is a refugee, immigrant & q***r led non-profit educational, urban, regenerative farm in SE Portland. We're an almost entirely volunteer run farm that donates 100% of what we grow to people experiencing food insecurity; and we teach kids, adults, and seniors how to grow their own food sustainably, on a limited budget. In the last 3 years we've...

- Taught over 2200 children, adults,

and seniors how to grow their own food

- Donated healthy produce for over 60,000 meals, produce boxes, and free food pantries to those experiencing food insecurity in our community

- Logged nearly 20,000 volunteer hours with our amazing, magical community

We work with historically underserved communities: immigrants, refugees, LGBTQIIA2S+, folks with low-income, BIPOC, & disabled folks.

Whether you've volunteered, donated, spread the word, or sent good thoughts our way… as 2024 comes to an end, we want to say thank you.

In just a few days we'll be starting year 5 here at Kindness Farm. We've grown from a team of 1 to a team of 7, transformed 2.5 acres of land, and touched countless lives. We're humbled that in the last 4 years we've:

- Provided 80,332 meals, produce boxes, and free food pantries of fresh, healthy produce to…

- 20,540+ Unhoused, low-income, students, youth and families facing barriers to food security in Portland

- Empowered 5,463 kids, adults, and seniors with the experience of growing food regeneratively, access to land, and communal connection

- Logged 27,500+ volunteer hours of many loving hands working this land

Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts. This would not be possible without you.

Earlier this year, the team from Brew Dr. came to visit us at Kindness Farm. During their volunteer day, they helped us harvest a huge amount of spinach and greens for our community. Brew Doctor has also generously donated so much yummy kombucha for our events! Thank you for your continued support of the farm!

This year, we're so honored to join organizations like Portland Fruit Tree Project, Milk Crate Kitchen , Oregon Food Bank , Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon , Urban Gleaners, Portland Backpack, Farmers Market Fund, Mudbone Grown LLC. and other amazing nonprofits in Willamette Week's hunger category.

It's all about access to healthy food. Access to nutritious food is a basic human right, not a privilege...and together, many organizations in our city are working tirelessly to ensure that our most vulnerable neighbors get fed.

One of our beloved community partnerships is with IRCO Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization. We work with IRCO in a multitude of ways and are grateful for how our partnership has deepened over these last few years so we can serve our community togethter.

From 2022 to 2024 we've donated 4,601 lbs of fresh, healthy produce (6,427 produce boxes) that served 1884 households. We work closely with our partners to grow as much culturally specific produce as possible.

This past year, we've also expanded our work together to serve family groups. Each of IRCO's cultural centers serves many family groups of immigrants and refugees. This year, at the farm, we provided access to 116 participants (79 adults and 37 youth) through this program. Participants got to tend land together, connect, learn, and build community.

More from Glenfair Elementary early this summer! Kids learn about soil health and the web of life that's thriving right beneath our feet!

This field trip, and the work we've done this year, would not be possible with support from East Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District! Thank you so much for supporting our work this year and allowing us to provide this important access to our community.

More from Glenfair Elementary early this summer! Our field trips balance hands-on education with time to explore, follow your curiosity, and connect with the land. Developing this type of relationship with the earth, plants, and animals, is so important for kids (and adults) to become environmental stewards as they grow up.

This field trip, and the work we've done this year, would not be possible with support from East Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District! Thank you so much for supporting our work this year and allowing us to provide this important access to our community.

Thank you Safeway team! Safeway came out to the farm last week to volunteer! Many hands made quick work of our downed walnut tree, and working on our hugel mounds in the food forest. Later in the day, we were invited to the Hackathon at Safeway headquarters where passionate groups of employees helped various nonprofits solve a challenge they were facing. Thank you for an amazing day of volunteering and support! 🙏
