ABOUT LAZY ACRES FARM
We're Beth and Casey, owners of Lazy Acres Farm. We are a small-scale organic vegetable farm located in the picturesque Applegate Valley of Southern Oregon.
​
The farm was born out of our shared passion for farming and sustainable living. We spent seven years as farmhands and caretakers on various farms across the globe before finally planting our roots in the Applegate Valley in 2022.
​
We farm wholeheartedly with practices that reflect our values. Our goal is to be part of the community's relationship with nourishing food.
​
We are committed to caring for the land, the food, the community, and the people we feed. Beyond being a farming business, our work at Lazy Acres is a lifestyle that fulfills us.
ORGANICALLY GROWN USING
SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
We are a no-till farm. This practice helps to maintain the soil structure, reduce erosion, conserve moisture, and promote the growth of beneficial soil organisms. We do not use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. We actively try to reduce water usage and preserve soil health through practices such as crop rotation and cover cropping.
