Kindness Farm is a regenerative, multicultural, queer-led nonprofit community farm in SE Portland, east of the 205, cultivating the flourishing and upliftment of our communities through healing, land-centered work, environmental and food-growing education, and access to fresh, nutritious food.

We believe that we are all threads of one great tapestry, woven together into one living system through soil, sunlight, water, and air. We care for our land and community as one living body. Our work is an act of love.

We teach folx about our environment and climate, and how to tend land and grow food sustainably using regenerative methods that heal the earth, preserve habitat, promote biodiversity, sequester carbon, and create climate resilience.

As a part of our educational programming, we grow a large amount of fresh produce which is provided, at no cost, to kids and families experiencing food insecurity through partner organizations. We operate at the intersection of environmental education, food security, and community resilience in Portland and serve the Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington counties.

Our founder, staff, students, volunteers, and participants come from very diverse backgrounds and include refugees, immigrants, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, queer and trans folx, neurodivergent folx, people with disabilities, people who have low incomes, unhoused folx, children, youth, and seniors.

We believe that tending land together can heal people, ecosystems, and communities, and we’re honored to be building this vision with and for those most impacted by climate, environmental, and food injustice.
