4 best farms in Philomath, Oregon

Gathering Together Farm
Philomath · Butcher, raw honey4.6 · 329 reviewsGathering Together Farm has grown organic produce at Philomath, Oregon since 1987, when John, Sally and a few friends set out to give one local restaurant a wider choice of organic vegetables. Today the farm supplies the Willamette Valley through farmers markets, grocery stores, restaurants and a CSA, and works with students and researchers on everything from school tours to dry farming trials. At the farm, the farmstand sells GTF produce, fresh baked pastries and other local goods from Wednesday to Saturday, with a farm to table restaurant alongside. They also run market stalls at Portland State University, Beaverton, Corvallis and Newport on Saturdays and Hillsdale on Sundays.
Hazelton Farms
Philomath · Butcher5.0 · 4 reviewsHazelton Farms is a small family run farm at 14420 Wildwood Road outside Philomath, in Oregon's coast range. The farm raises a small herd of yaks on pasture, grass fed, in the belief that animals should live a fun and natural life. Yak meat is lean and deep red, with a sweet, delicate flavor the farm describes as very clean on the palate. The meat sells two ways: retail cuts for anyone who wants to try yak, and whole or half shares at $9.50 a pound with custom cutting, a free farm tour and the chance to watch the harvest on site. Processing happens at the farm through two mobile slaughter units, Farmers Helper from Harrisburg and Coastal Cutters from Newport. Cell service is spotty at the farm, so Nick Hazelton takes orders and questions by text or email.
Eichenalm
Philomath · Raw milk, butcher5.0 · 3 reviewsEichenalm is a small family farm on the Marys River in Oregon's Willamette Valley, just outside Philomath. Academics by trade, the family began farming as a path toward a more ethical and sustainable relationship with the food they eat. They keep a pure bred herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats, every doe registered, and take part in the American Dairy Goat Association's Dairy Herd Improvement Registry and Linear Appraisal. The does have free choice access to alfalfa hay, varied forage, kelp, loose minerals and fresh water, with a daily boost of dried herbs, flowers and seeds, and protein rich grain feed only while they are in milk. A weekly herbal dewormer keeps worm loads healthy through winter, and chemical dewormers or antibiotics are reached for only when absolutely necessary. Everything the dairy sells is raw and unpasteurised: goat milk by the quart, half gallon or gallon, a monthly milk subscription, kefir, soft spreadable chevre and dry salted feta. Alongside the dairy the farm stand carries free range eggs, sourdough loaves baked on Sunday mornings, sourdough starter, and seasonal apples and pears. Whole goats can be pre ordered for a November pick up. Milk and kefir are poured by appointment, cheese and eggs wait in the farm stand fridge and freezer, and pick up is in Philomath only. The family takes cash and Venmo and offers discounts to WIC and SNAP recipients, and to anyone else struggling to make ends meet. The name Eichenalm brings together the old growth oak forest of their first farm and the alpine meadows Sebastian grew up beside.
Totum Farm
Philomath · ButcherTotum Farm is a family farm in Philomath, Oregon raising pigs, chickens and cattle outdoors. The cows graze lush Willamette Valley grass and are 100% grass fed and finished, while the pigs and chickens live on pasture and in the woods, supplemented with non GMO feed that is free of corn and soy. Everything sells through the farm's online shop, from ground beef, steaks and roasts to pork, chicken and a meat CSA subscription. Beef is a seasonal product, processed in spring and autumn, so some cuts sell out between restocks.
