BOUNDLESS FARMSTEAD

Boundless Farmstead was not the plan all along. Born not from heritage, ancestry, nor conformity, but from an uncontrollable, rampant, and unbounded desire to do what we learned to be right; to tend the earth and to leave this world a better place for generations to come.

Our mission is to grow and cultivate healthy plants, animals, and community, and to form creative and sustainable practices by observing, listening, and studying. Boundless Farmstead is 15 miles east of Bend in the Badlands of the High Desert. We are surrounded by sagebrush and juniper, and views of the beautiful Cascade Mountains. We are a 20 acre mixed vegetable farm, having five acres in vegetables, five acres in rotational cover crops, five acres in pasture/hay, and a new one acre orchard. We use only organic practices and strive to go beyond those practices through crop rotation, reducing waste, adding organic matter, encouraging beneficial insects, and more.
