In today’s episode we sit down with Amber Lippert of Camas Swale farm located on 16 acres of river bottom land north of Coburg, Oregon in the Willamette Valley. Camas Swale Farm is a family operated certified organic vegetable farm. Amber and her husband, Jonah, along with an experienced crew grow vegetables, herbs, berries and flowers for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program and sell wholesale. Amber and Jonah started Camas Swale Farm (https://camasswalefarm.com/) 13 years ago, and have been on their current home farm site for the past 10. Amber shares their journey learning on other farms in the region, leasing land, navigating the business with children and some of the strategies they implement to keep the farm going. It was an honor to sit down with Amber as she shared her farming story with vulnerability and joy. I am grateful for her wisdom and openness. This episode was recorded in March of 2024.
