Small Farms and Ranches

There are a number of small farms and ranches in Lincoln County. Local farmers and ranchers produce a variety of agricultural products for their community, from eggs, beef, and wool to fresh vegetables and flowers. Oregon State University Extension Service supports local agriculture in Lincoln County in a number of ways including:

Workshops, classes, and tours for farmers to learn about topics relevant to their work
Small scale on-farm trials to test out locally appropriate management strategies
Farm visits and phone, email, and zoom consultations to answer individual questions
Newsletter and local farmer email group to help farmers stay connected and share timely resources
and more!
