If ever a business name was descriptive; this is it. As someone said, not long ago; most food is eaten in towns and cities yet is mostly grown elsewhere. Eugene Backyard Farmer is virtually a one-stop-shop for all things Foodscaping; turning lawns-ornamentals into food-ornamentals.
Our current collaborations with Eugene Backyard Farmer revolves around seeds and willow-work.
These are digesters/composters, basically woven from Willow, grown locally; we are creating this update on June 10th, 2023. When these composters were created we were still facing challenges growing our own Willow and sourcing it, generally and we want to acknowledge the unrelenting efforts of Andrew B “Monty” Moore. Monty started the whole upsurge in interest in Willow here in the South Willamette Valley, in Oregon in the USA. In this year (2023) Monty spearheaded the planting of almost 12,000 Willows in and around Eugene which will form an incredible legacy for many future generations. As we face ongoing pressures from both Forest Fires and the sad loss of many Ash trees due to the Emerald Ash Borer Willow is a key species.
In May 2023 we started our permanent Seed Exchange in Eugene Oregon, at Eugene Backyard Farmer. This is a key part of our Incredible Edible systems, more news soon on this.
