Antique fruit cultivars, dedicated blueberry grounds, year-round seasonal field vegetables, winter hoophouse crops, and berry thickets in North Plains, Oregon.

← Return to Grange Homepage

The rich alluvial soils of Washington County provide an unparalleled foundation for agrarian self-reliance. At Baronial Acres Grange, we combine deep organic soil building with historic fruit selection and row crop rotations to maintain continuous, four-season harvests.

Our estate grounds encompass an antique fruit orchard sourced from historic nursery stock, a dedicated blueberry field, extensive outdoor crop production, a protected winter hoophouse, and caneberry thickets. Every crop is grown naturally without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, nourished with composted animal bedding, cover crops, and mineral dust.
