Gathering Together Farm grows a wide variety of organic produce in Philomath Oregon, with a thriving CSA program, farmstand, restaurant, and 10 farmers markets.
GTF is an enterprise in certified organic vegetable and fruit production that began in 1987. Our home base is just south of Philomath, Oregon on Grange Hall Road. Our fields are small odd shaped parcels of land, 1 to 5 acres in size, hugging the Mary's River. All totaled, we farm over 50 acres. Gathering Together is owned by John Eveland and Sally Brewer, husband and wife. In the heat of the summer, there will be over 120 of us working hard to nurture and harvest high-quality food, prepare it for customers, and sell it at market.
The Farmstand
In 2003 we expanded our on-farm offerings by building our beautiful Farmstand. Originally it was soups, salads, and pastry along with our organic produce. We now offer lunch, dinner, and Saturday breakfast in the flavors of Italian-influenced Northwest cuisine. It's a wonderful location for tasting some of the fruits of our labor. The season's best produce is combined with locally grown meats and regional seafoods in the expert hands of our chef.
What We Offer
Diversity is one of the keystones of our farm. Each year we grow over 50 different types of vegetables of over 300 different varieties. Our customer base ranges from the individuals we see at our Farmstand and our farmers' market booths to local and regional food co-ops, markets, and many premier restaurants in the Corvallis and Portland areas. We distribute wholesale quantities of many items through Organically Grown Company. Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) membership program now includes over 350 households in Philomath, Corvallis, Portland, and Newport.
