Kindness Farm is a regenerative, multicultural, queer-led nonprofit community farm in SE Portland, east of the 205.
At the farm, we provide equitable access to land, the experience of growing food, environmental education, and healthy, nutritious produce to children, families, and seniors from historically and currently vulnerable communities.
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, queer and trans folx, BIPOC, 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.
