Founded in 2016 by K.Ruby Blume & Jordan Reed, Faerie Road Farmis situated on 22 acres of bottomland pasture nestled in a pristine valley on a bend of the Rogue River, Northwest of Grants Pass. The property has 8 acres of fully irrigated pasture, 9 acres of partially irrigated pasture, an acre of oak woodlands and 4 acres of homesite with orchards and gardens.

The property has been developed with infrastructure to raise heritage lamb. In addition to the sheep there are a handful of cows, a flock of chickens, geese, ducks, pigeons, rabbits, cats and guardian dogs. The farm boasts over 100 fruit trees spread over multiple orchards, including a dedicated hard cider orchard, grapes, berries and a lovely pond where dragonflies dance in the summer and blue herons visit in the winter. There are extensive gardens including an annual kitchen garden, dahlia patch, rose garden, medicinal and culinary herbs, dye garden and annual flower garden.

Faerie Road Farm is a multi-use farm including opportunities for camping, artist retreats and education.

Faerie Road Farm is strives to be an excellent example of practical permaculture. We consider ourselves "dirt farmers," working with sustainable and regenerative practices to build tilth and support the soil food web. We employ regenerative agricultural practices including rotational grazing, ethical animal husbandry, composting, cover cropping, waste recycling (sheep manure), bioregional crop selection, fair share (sharing with our local fauna rather than using pesticides), biochar, sheet mulching, bio-diversity planting and maintaining a healthy and respectful relationship with local wildlife.
