Sweet Water Farm is located at the foothills of Mt. Sexton in Hugo. We are entering our nineteenth year of operation cultivating around two and a half acres. Our mission is to grow healthy food and take care of this special piece of earth at the same time. Sam and Denise run the farm with one to two other employees. We operate (mostly) year round and grow over fifty different crops of vegetables, flowers, and fruit. We are not certified organic but adhere to the same practices. We sell at the Grants Pass growers market for the last fifteen years (almost every week of the year), as well as to several local restaurants and JoCo Food Collective! We are happy to provide fresh nutrient dense food to our community.

We have been farming organically on this family land since 2006. Although we are not certified organic we adhere to the same practices. We use organic and OMRI certified fertilizers, minerals, compost, mycorrhiza, crop rotation, cover crops, tarps and mulch. We aim to minimize tillage to preserve soil health.
