With dirt under their fingernails Andrea and her husband Taylor run Tumbleweed Farm near Parkdale, Oregon, with their two daughters, ages four and eighteen months, and their Great Pyrenees, Stoney.
“When we first moved onto our land, it was a neglected horse pasture that had never been cultivated. We were able to coax some vegetables out of the land, but they looked haggard and seemed to struggle just to survive.
So we made the conscious decision to invest a lot of time and energy into improving our soil and our farming practices.”
The Bemis family lives on the farm where they grow roughly fifty different kinds of organic vegetables. They feed their family and their community.
“I wish more people knew and understood that it’s our duty to support our local economy and small-scale producers. The farther away your product comes from, the less traceable it is.
Do you know where the things in your kitchen were made? How the workers were treated? How the soil is nourished, and how those foods nourish you?”
