Our Farm Network

The OPCA project started in 2014 at Kaj Dawg Farm, took root at Fir Peace Farm in 2021, and grew to include Turtleback Farm and Warm Valley Farm in 2022.

Each of the farm sites in our network is a unique combination of microclimate, production style, crew collaboration, and educational opportunity. You may want to choose a site that is in your area or travel a bit further to be part of a particular focus at another site. Each site will have work shifts on standing days of the week, with most sites offering flexible work shift timing for Participants who want or need to show up outside of those standing times.

Our Farms

All are welcome at this farm where the relaxed crew enjoys camaraderie in the lavish sunshine. We have room for 10-15 households at Fir Peace.
