Healing starts in the soil.
Kindness Farm is a multicultural, queer-led regenerative community farm in SE Portland, cultivating the flourishing and upliftment of our communities through healing, land-centered work, environmental 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.

Our mission
At Kindness Farm, 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.
Our Programs
Schools and Youth – We work with schools with diverse populations, where many students are immigrants or refugees, come from low-income families, and don’t have access to outdoor experiences. We work across multiple districts to bring land-based education and healing outdoor experiences to students who need them most.
Immigrant and Refugee Groups – Many immigrant and refugee groups come to the farm for hands-on education in growing food in our climate—while deepening cultural connection, sharing skills, and building community.
Community Learning Days – Youth and adults from diverse backgrounds and walks of life spend time outside together, tending land, and learning about stewarding our environment, creating healthy ecosystems, conservation, and how to grow food.
Healthy Food Access – All the food grown on our 2.5 acre urban farm is provided directly to our community, at no cost, in the form of meals, produce boxes, and free food pantries through our partner organizations. This provides important access to healthy, nutritionally dense produce to those most vulnerable in our community – something they often don’t get anywhere else.
Our Impact
Every year, we provide access to land and education for thousands of children and adults in Portland. We also distribute thousands of pounds of fresh, healthy, nutrient-dense, culturally-relevant produce to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. All while preserving and regeneratively tending 2.5 urban acres full of trees, perennials, flowers, medicine plants, and wildlife.
