Turtle Moon Farm

Welcome to Turtle Moon Farm + Experience Center, a land-based event space rooted in the value of RESPECT - one of our Seven Ojibwe Grandfather Teachings. Through generosity and gifting we embody respect to all guests.

Named after our two children Turtle Moon Farm is nestled on the Western Slope of the Columbia River Gorge. Our farm overlooks the Sandy River and offers breathtaking views and calming stillness of the Columbia River Gorge & Mt. Hood National Forest.

Through the lens of our contemporary Indigenous cultures and values we offer a dynamic experience space highlighting the beauty and bounty of the Columbia River Gorge. Our goal is to uplift the human spirit and bring all of us closer to the land where we are guests.
