Mizuna Gardens is a biointensive market garden near Portland, Oregon, specializing in unusual and heirloom salad greens for local chefs.
|
Since the beginning with founder Renee Oberdorf, and continued after her retirement in 2017, we are proud to have worked with many creative chefs from the dawning of Portland's now famous culinary scene. Our passion has always been growing greens! Our joy is hearing the surprise and delight people express while discovering the many different flavors possible when leaves are grown past the baby stage.
|
Our six acre farm produces an abundance of premium salad mix each season, upwards of four TONS per season. We also grow microgreens, shoots and other leafy produce. We greatly value the relationships formed with chefs and strive to provide the best possible customer service. We are committed to meeting the needs of our wonderful supportive customers.
|
All our work is done by hand without the use of any chemicals whatsoever and hardly a motor in sight. We follow all organic growing principles to a tee and beyond. We buy the best seed and use the highest quality organic soil amendments. We work the land with environmentally-friendly hand tools. Whether planting seeds, transplanting seedlings, weeding beds, or harvesting each leaf by hand, most of the work needs to be done on hands & knees to be done well. We're devoted to keeping the soil healthy, because healthy soil equals health salad greens.
