Signs on the land, by Bonsai

Beautiful, educational signs the describe some of our design for life on this land.

Welcome to Tryon Life Community Farm!

Farm goats!

TLC Farm is a seven-acre land project and non-profit event center, surrounded by the beautiful forest of Tryon Creek State Park. Our public Village Green includes a large yurt, outdoor kitchen, tea house, bonfire area, earthen buildings, stage and Portland's first public composting toilets. The majority of the land is open space, including gardens, orchards, chicken and goat areas, and fields. (Houses on the land host independent residential collectives, Cedar Moon and the Sacred Lands Alliance.)

TLC Farm is a unique community-created venue for public and private events -- great for workshops, retreats, weddings, birthdays, meetings, parties and more.

We also teach workshops and lead educational field trips, and host regular workparties and community events.

Our Willow Creek Forest School is an outdoor, place-based farm and forest kindergarten for children ages 3-5, from September to June.

TLC Farm programs and land tending are community created and couldn't happen without volunteers and donations. Thank you for your participation!

Farm Tour 12 - Barn View

The barn. Home to the goats, a hayloft, workshop, and office on the top floor. There's also a sweet little cob-insulated room tucked into the corner, called 'Bag End' - it's used as a work and sleeping space for one of the residents, but can be arranged as a guest room.
