Farms: Teal Creek Farms
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
On a sunny spring afternoon, Living Culture visits Teal Creek Farms in Dallas, Oregon. Owners Sloan Aagaard and Keith Nelson tend 40 acres of fertile land, raising lamb and chickens, growing certified organic vegetables and fruit. We catch Aagaard and Nelson during a busy time, as they begin to work the soil, plant seeds, and care for seedlings in their greenhouses. Teal Creek Farms offers a wide variety of produce, including onions, garlic, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, Swiss chard, bok choy, cabbage, beets, lettuces, kale, rhubarb, strawberries, and raspberries. Their products are sold at Life Source Natural Foods and Salem Public Market in Salem, Oregon. Living Culture is a monthly television series that showcases cuisine and agriculture in the Pacific Northwest. Our mission is to generate interest in local foods through inspiring and positive media.

Oh, what heaven! Yet, acknowledging the tremendous amount of work you must do. It must have been wonderful to share this way of life, together as a couple, for so many years. In appreciation of your allusion to changing times - economic and other circumstances. Have longed to meet a life partner with whom to share such an endeavor - even simply food-growing/a huge garden. Thank you so much for sharing...and inspiring:)
