“seven families own the small farmers project. we formed our group and created our cooperative farm plan in 2008 as participants in a local non-profit, huerto de la familia, (the family garden) a partner of heifer international.

the small farmers project specializes in organic blackcap raspberries and both day-neutral and june-bearing varieties of strawberries. they sell strawberries to local food businesses and cafes, at our eugene farm stand, and by u-pick.”
