Seasonal Field Crops & Heritage Orchards
At Baronial Acres Grange, living soil, seasonal rains, and traditional biointensive husbandry stand above all else. Our field vegetables and heritage orchards are the true crown of our enterprise. We farm without synthetic chemicals, enriching our earth with compost, wood ash, and biochar harvested from our timber reserves.
We cultivate varieties that honored Elizabethan pottage tables alongside crops that thrive in the rich, climate-blessed soils of the Pacific Northwest. Every harvest box brings our members fresh, nutrient-dense field greens, heirloom roots, and sun-ripened orchard fruits picked at peak flavor.

✦ THE JEWELS SET WITHIN THE CROWN ✦
The Masonry Bakehouse
Set within the heart of our harvest, the bakehouse transforms our heritage grains into wild-fermented artwork. Using native timber harvested from our grounds, our masonry vault oven bakes long-fermented Tudor Manchet sourdough, honey-sweetened spelt pan loaves, and seasonal fruit galettes loaded with orchard berries.
The Monastic Apiary
Nestled beside our orchards, thirty active hives forage across acres of wild clover and fruit blossoms. The apiary yields pure, raw wildflower honey—unfiltered, unheated, and straight from hive to glass jar—alongside hand-poured beeswax lip salves and linen food wraps.
Pasture Laying Flock
Our heritage laying hens roam freely under open skies, foraging for bugs and native greens. They deposit nutrient-rich manure into our soil while producing golden-yolk eggs delivered fresh weekly to our member guild.
Seasonal Pasture Broilers
Raised in small seasonal batches under natural pasture husbandry, our broiler chickens forage on fresh pasture daily. Processed humanely on-farm under Oregon direct farm exemptions, they provide our members with wholesome, pasture-raised meats.
